I see the grief that's coming to creation
I feel the reaching fingers of decay
I know the grave is not my destination
For He'll return and carry me away
When that resurrection time is here
I'm gonna rise and meet Him in the air

Rise up
Cause I've got a reservation
Rise up
To meet the Lord
Rise up
Rise to that occasion in the sky
I'm gonna rise

There was a day that I can well remember
When Jesus took away my fear of death
And put a hope within my heart forever
And in that hope I'll forever rest
When I hear that final trumpet sound
I'm gonna prove that death can't hold me down

Rise up
Cause I've got a reservation
Rise up
To meet the Lord
Rise up
Rise to that occasion in the sky
I'm gonna rise

On that first resurrection day
Jesus took away the sting of death
Breaking the chains and conquering the grave
And just line Him we're gonna rise up

Rise up
Cause I've got a reservation
Rise up
To meet the Lord
Rise up
Rise to that occasion in the sky
I'm gonna rise
