Foundation and Rise

[Intro] From quiet roots I lift my gaze, praying for the morning light A steady hand, a patient pace, I walk by faith not sight [Verse 1] I lay foundations in the dust, with hope as my design A humble heart, a hopeful mind, each step I redefine Opportunities like footprints in the rain I trace I ask for courage, steady feet, and grace to keep the pace [Pre-Chorus] And when the winds push hard against the stones I’ve set I breathe in faith, exhale doubt, and do my best [Chorus] Guide me, Lord, through all I cannot see Build a fortress strong in me, from little shoots to towering trees Let every struggle teach me how to stand tall I rise by trust, I answer the call [Verse 2] A prayer woven through the work, a daily awakening I raise my hands, I bow my head, to You my striving brings Opportunities come like doors that softly swing ( )I step through with integrity, I keep my promise clean [Pre-Chorus] When aim grows faint and the path seems far from clear I pause, remember grace, I draw You near [Chorus] Guide me, Lord, through all I cannot see Build a fortress strong in me, from little shoots to towering trees Let every struggle teach me how to stand tall I rise by trust, I answer the call [Bridge] Foundation first, then the lift of dream and deed I’ll polish every promise with patience and with heed [Chorus] Guide me, Lord, through all I cannot see Build a fortress strong in me, from little shoots to towering trees Let every struggle teach me how to stand tall I rise by trust, I answer the call [Outro] With prayer as compass, I press on and proceed A hopeful dawn awaits the faithful creed
