He will Rise.
He will come.
We will march
with Him under the sun.
He will Rise.
He will come.
In the end
God’s will shall be done.
He will Rise.
He will come.
We will all 
rise to Kingdom Come.
He will rise.
He will come.
We’ll all be together
when the day comes. 
We will rise.
We will come.
We’ll all be together
When the day comes.
