Still Bound Still Rising

STILL BOUND BUT RISING

(Verse 1)

I heard His voice call my name,

In the darkness light still came.

From the grave I rose to see,

But the chains still clung to me.

(Chorus)

Still bound, still rising,

The grave clothes falling down.

What once held me captive,

Can’t keep me underground.

Jesus spoke and I came forth,

New life in His command—

Still bound, but rising,

’Til freedom’s in my hands.

(Verse 2)

I heard His voice so near,

Calling life through every tear.

What was bound began to break,

Freedom rising in His wake.

(Chorus)

Still bound, still rising,

The grave clothes falling down.

What once held me captive,

Can’t keep me underground.

Jesus spoke and I came forth,

New life in His command—

Still bound, but rising,

’Til freedom’s in my hands.

(Bridge)

I heard His voice — “Come forth!”

Chains can’t hold me anymore.

Grave clothes falling to the ground,

At His word, I’m Heaven-bound!

(Final Chorus)

Still bound, still rising,

The grave clothes falling down.

What once held me captive,

Can’t keep me underground.

Jesus spoke and I came forth,

New life in His command—

Still bound, but rising,

Now free in His hands!Now free in His hands…

Still bound, but rising.

Now free in His hands.
