MP3: Rise Up! Bren

Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
Received January 4, 2011

I was asked to sing for the Inaugural prayer service
for the newly elected Governor of Oklahoma, Mary Fallin.
This song came as I thought about what I would want
to hear someone say to me if I were the governor.
After listening to the song I realized it fit perfectly
with  the theme of the book, Sacrifice! This is a
song to challenge young people to rise up and
embrace all they are meant to be...in spite of
hardships, failures, or the lies they believe about
themselves.

Verse

 

You have dared to dream a dream

 

Leading to reality!

 

Open up your eyes

 

Embrace all you can see!

 

Walk in deep humility

 

This is your identity

 

Laying down your very life for those you lead.

 

This is your destiny! This is your destiny!

 

 

 

Chorus

 

Rise up! Rise up and be!

 

Rise up, embrace your destiny!

 

Rise up! Rise and believe!

 

Rise up and dare to live your dream!

 

Rise up! Rise up! Rise up!

 

Embrace your destiny!

 

 

 

Verse

 

At times you'll walk a lonely road

 

But you will never be alone!

 

Every step along the way is where I'll be!

 

Live your life for all to see.

 

Walk in great integrity,

 

Laying down your life and serving those you lead!

 

This is your destiny!  This is your destiny!

 

 

 

Chorus

 

Rise up! Rise up and be!

 

Rise up, embrace your destiny!

 

Rise up! Rise and believe!

 

Rise up and dare to live your dream!

 

Rise up! Rise up! Rise up!

 

Embrace your destiny!
