Jodi Essex - Stand Up Lyrics

I know how dark it was at times
You sold your soul for just a dime
Your heart was ripped to shreds
Life left you all but dead

But there's a light in that soul of yours
So reach inside
And reach down deep
With Him, you will survive

So get up
Stand up
And rise
Lift your hands up
To the sky
So get up
Stand up
And rise
Get up, stand up
STAND UP AND RISE

Indelible mark on your soul
In the eye of whom beholds
Once just a heap of trash
Now a diamond from the ash

Streams of life in that heart of yours
So reach inside
Take hold, hold tight
With Him, you will survive
Survive

So get up
Stand up
And rise
Lift your hands up
To the sky
So get up
Stand up
And rise
Get up, stand up
STAND UP AND RISE

Look, I know some have let you down
Some always will
So hard to choose the high roads
Discerning, be still
I hear you
In the silence you hear
The truth

So get up
Stand up
And rise
Lift your hands up
To the sky
Everybody get up
Stand up
And rise
Get up, stand up
Get up, stand up

Get up
Stand up
And rise
Lift your hands up
To the sky
Everybody get up
Stand up
And rise
Now get up, stand up
STAND UP AND RISE
