Rise Up
Rise Up
Come alive My Daughter
To all that you are
Live fully in step
With My Creation power
Shed off the grave clothes
That have weighed you down
Trappings of self-pity
Keeping you earth bound
Rise up and live
Oh, Woman of grace
Move joyfully in step with My plan
Freedoms pace
Cast off entanglements
Disappointments, pain
Leave the past in the grave
Lay down your shame
Break out with praise
From the cold, hard ground
Push up and see
New life to be found
Yield yourself fully
To all I have planned
I am in you and with you
I’ll help you to stand
For out of the ash heap
From under the dirt
Restoration and beauty
Joy and Rebirth.

Beauty is found when we live in light of all that God created us to be.
Jesus calls us to “Rise up!” so that we can live as women of peace, women of joy, women of faith and women who display His glory to a lost and dying world.
The miracle of beauty rises from the ash heap of suffering, loss, disappointment and pain; when we allow our trials and difficulties to instill in us a heart after God and not allow bitterness to fester and flourish.
Though the enemy would seek to keep us down under the load, God calls us and enables us to rise above. This can only be done as we rely fully upon the Grace and Truth that Christ offers.
Rise up!
Rise Up and Live fully as the woman God created you to be!

“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.”
Ephesians 1:19 (NLT)
