Though the tears may fall
My song will rise
My song will rise to You
Though my heart may fail
My song will rise, my song will rise to You

In the dead of night, I'll lift my eyes
I'll lift my eyes to You
Though the waters rise, I'll lift my eyes
I'll lift my eyes to You

I will praise You, Lord

I am alive with You
