I have seen the nights so long
I thought they'd never end
I've felt such hurt I never thought would leave
But what a welcome sight, the break of dawn
It brings back hope again
Just to know He made the sun rise just for me

He makes the sun rise for me
Dispels the dark, His rays of love
Shine to let me see
Hope is never gone
For Jesus never leaves
He makes the sun rise for me

Once in Jerusalem
There was sadness in the air
For in a cold tomb
Was laid the Prince of Peace
If the angels cry, it must have rained
But after three days of despair
He made the Son rise for me

He makes the Son rise for me
Dispels the dark, He's raised up
With healing in His wings
Hope is never gone
For Jesus is the King
He makes the Son rise for me
He made the Son rise for me
Dispels the dark, He's raised up
With healing in His wings
Hope is never gone
For Jesus is the King
He made the Son rise for me
He made the Son rise for me
For me
