Glory Rising

[Intro] Soft piano, hush of strings, a single breath draws near V1: The morning light breaks slowly on my face I lift a quiet sigh and feel Your warm embrace A whisper in the stillness says, “Be still, and know” I bow, I listen, let Your mercy show [Verse 1] I come with folded hands, a pilgrim on the road Heart trembles like the reeds that by the river flowed Faith as small as a seed—yet You call it to rise With every breath, Your mercy opens my skies [Chorus] You are here, reveal Your glory, Lord In the hush of my heart, You are my reward Let dreams awaken, let hope be restored Oh how I love You, Savior and Lord [Verse 2] The choir joins inside, a chorus made of grace We lift our hands together, seek the holy place Your promises like rain fall soft on the ground From doubt to faith, Your voice is a holy sound [Bridge] We cry, we call, You answer with a flame—mmmm The river of Your Spirit carries every name—mmm Ad-lib: Choir answers, echoes rise, harmonies unwind, sing through the night Ad-lib cont.: Lift, hold, release—breath in grace, breath out praise [Verse 3] In the valley of our burdens, Your light breaks through A banner over us—divine presence true Hope anchors deep, it holds us through the storm Blessings like bread fall, keep us in Your form [Chorus] You are here, reveal Your glory, Lord In the hush of my heart, You are my reward Let dreams awaken, let hope be restored Oh how I love You, Savior and Lord [Breakdown/Ad-libs] (Ad-lib: melismatic runs, vocal folds catching the dawn of light) (Psalm-like breath: sustained notes, held softly, then released) [Verse 4] Now hands raise higher, a city of praise is born We press toward the light of a newly breaking dawn Your blessing pours like rain upon dry ground We sing Your faithfulness, Your love all around [Chorus - Final, with ad-libs] You are here, reveal Your glory, Lord In the hush of my heart, You are my reward Let dreams awaken, let hope be restored Oh how I love You, Savior and Lord [Outro] Breath after breath, we linger in Your grace A quiet, steady lift, then radiant embrace We bless Your name, till every ear can hear The church of heaven answering loud and clear: Amen, amen, amen
