I'm Gonna Rise

I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is comin' to take me away, I'm gonna live forever in His kingdom some day
I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is coming to take me away, I'm gonna live forever in His kingdom some day
Darwin's gonna wonder if something's amiss, when he tries to figure out how I evolved to this
Newton's gonna question his law of gravity, when he takes a look around and finds it don't apply to me
I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is comin' to take me away, I'm gonna live forever in His kingdom some day
I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is coming to take me away, I'm gonna live forever in His kingdom some day
You can have Huxley, Herman, Hess and Socrates, all the human knowledge and the worlds philosophies
I found a higher law and it's workin' in me, God gave birth to my spirit and He set my mind free
Well
I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is comin' to take me away, I don't even know how to fly
I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is comin' to take me away, I'm gonna live forever in His kingdom some day
I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is comin' to take me away, I don't even know how to fly
I'm gonna rise so high, now when the spirit spreads its wings across the sky
The Risen One is comin' to take me away, I'm gonna live forever in His kingdom some day
