O my soul, rise up, and sing...
Verse 1
If I can take the lights of Manhattan
And hold them altogether in my hands
I would make them shine for You
I would make them shine for You
If I can climb the highest mountain
And shout with a voice like thunder
I would shake the sky for You
I would shake the sky for You
Chorus 1
Rise, let it rise
Let Your praises fill the skies til the whole world knows
Let it grow, Let Your fire within me glow til the whole world knows
Let it rise, Let it rise
Verse 2
If I could take the waves of the ocean
Crash them like a cymbal in my hands
I would let them ring for You
I would let them ring for You
If I could take the hymns of our fathers
Join them all in one mighty chorus
I would let it sing for You
I would let it sing for You
Chorus 2
Rise, let it rise
Let Your praises fill the skies til the whole world knows
Let it grow, Let Your fire within me glow til the whole world knows
That You are good
Lord, Your love will endure til the end of time
Let it rise, Let it rise
Bridge
O my soul rise up
O my soul rise up
O my soul rise up, and sing
Chorus 2
Rise, let it rise
Let Your praises fill the skies til the whole world knows
Let it grow, Let Your fire within me glow til the whole world knows
That You are good
Lord, Your love will endure til the end of time
Let it rise, Let it rise
