What good is it if a man claims faith   And he has no actions to back it up   All I know is that that faith is dead   And it won't save him   If he keeps talkin' and doesn't get to work   That won't be me   For I will      Rise, I'll rise above this world   This world of lies   I'll rise with the strength of the Lord and His Word   I will overcome   I'll Rise      I've seen a man   With an untamed tongue   He ignites the flame   That burns him down   With his tongue he praises the Lord   And he curses man    Which was created by the one that died for him   This should not be   So I will      Rise, I'll rise above this world   This world of lies   I'll rise with the strength of the Lord and His Word   I will overcome   I'll rise      What's the deal with people these days   Thinking they've got all the time in the world   But I tell you our lives will soon end   They're nothing but a vapor of mist in the wind   So brother and sisters come   Come on      Let's Rise, rise above this world   This world of lies   Let's rise with the strength of the Lord and His Word   We will overcome   Let's rise
