Raise It Higher

Raise It Higher

[Verse 1]

I came in dust and pain

But I ain't here to stay

You tried to hold me down

I tore that chain away

My hands still smell like work

My knees still know the floor

But when I call Your name

I want You more and more

[Pre-Chorus]

Hear me now

I'm not backing up

Hear me now

Fill my empty cup

[Chorus]

Raise it higher (higher)

Lift it higher (higher)

I was down in the water

Now I'm coming up stronger

Raise it higher (higher)

Lift it higher (higher)

When the night gets louder

I sing even harder

[Verse 2]

My scars don't scare me now

They preach what I survived

I felt that bitter wind

And still I stayed alive

You put a fire in me

That trouble can't put out

So watch me step again

And let the whole room shout

[Pre-Chorus]

Hear me now

I'm not backing up

Hear me now

Fill my empty cup

[Chorus]

Raise it higher (higher)

Lift it higher (higher)

I was down in the water

Now I'm coming up stronger

Raise it higher (higher)

Lift it higher (higher)

When the night gets louder

I sing even harder

[Bridge]

Oh, break every chain

Break every chain

I won't bow to fear

I won't bow again

Oh, let my cry be loud

Let it shake this place

If You brought me this far

Then I'm running with grace

[Final Chorus]

Raise it higher (higher)

Lift it higher (higher)

I was down in the water

Now I'm coming up stronger

Raise it higher (higher)

Lift it higher (higher)

When the night gets louder

I sing even harder

Raise it higher (higher)

Lift it higher (higher)

Nothing's gonna stop me

When I call Your name above me
