Rise Like Thunder

[Intro]
Yeah
Come on
Let it roll

[Verse 1]
I've been pushed to the ground, been left in the dust
Had a whole lot of pain try to bury my trust
But I heard that roar down deep in my soul
Like a midnight train that was ready to roll

I had chains on my name, had fear in my bones
Had a long road back and I walked it alone
But the Lord lit a fire where the dark had been
Now I'm standing up and I'm breathing again

[Pre-Chorus]
I was down, but I didn't stay
Grace came running and it made a way

[Chorus]
I rise like thunder
I stand like stone
I walked through the valley
But I'm not alone
Rise like thunder
Shake these walls
I may bend in the battle
But I won't fall

[Verse 2]
I've had trouble come knocking with a crooked grin
Had shame try to drag me back again
But mercy hit hard like a hammer on steel
Now I know what freedom feels like for real

Got dirt on my boots, got scars on my hands
But I'm still here, and I still can stand
Every wound has a story, every scar has a sound
And mine says, "Son, you can't keep me down"

[Pre-Chorus]
I was bruised, but I wasn't done
I found my strength in the Father's Son

[Chorus]
I rise like thunder
I stand like stone
I walked through the valley
But I'm not alone
Rise like thunder
Shake these walls
I may bend in the battle
But I won't fall

[Bridge]
Let the storm come rolling
Let the night grow black
I've got heaven before me
And no fear looking back

Let the ground start shaking
Let the fire burn bright
I was made for this moment
I was born for the fight

[Breakdown]
No more running
No more chains
No more living
Under yesterday's shame

[Final Chorus]
I rise like thunder
I stand like stone
I walked through the valley
But I'm not alone
Rise like thunder
Shake these walls
I may bend in the battle
But I won't fall

[Outro]
I won't fall
I won't break
I'm still standing
By amazing grace

Yeah
Rise like thunder
