[Verse 1]
Every stone that makes you stumble and cuts you when you fall
Every serpent here that strikes your heel to curse you when you crawl
The King of love one day will crush them all
And every sad seduction and every clever lie
Every word that woos and wounds the pilgrim, children of the sky
The King of love will break them by and by
[Chorus 1]
And you will rise up in the end
You will rise up in the end
I know the night is cruel
But the day is coming soon
When you will rise up in the end
[Verse 2]
If a thief had come to plunder when the children were alone
If he ravaged every daughter and murdered every son
Would not their Father see this? Would not His anger burn?
Would He not repay the tyrant in the day of His return?
Await, await the day of His return
[Chorus 2]
'Cause He will rise up in the end
He will rise up in the end
I know you need a Savior
He's patient in His anger
But He will rise up in the end
[Bridge]
And when the stars come crashing to the sea
When the high and mighty fall down on their knee
When you see the sun descending in the sky
The chains of death will fall around your feet
[Chorus 3]
And you will rise up in the end
You will rise up in the end
You will rise up in the end, oh
I know you will
