Dirt Poor Robins Rise Up
Do you give orders to the dawn?
Can you bring forth the way of light?
(or go to where the dark resides)
Can you replace a single star?
(Or from its skies can you divide)
Did you create the eyes that give you sight?
And though you feel like you are slain by fires you've come through
Your hope should stay upon
The One whose blood has bought and paid for you
Do you give birth to freeze and frost?
When all is white with fallen snow
(and the waters turn to stone)
Can you command the heaven's rain to overflowing?
And then with one hand be made still the thunder's undertoning?
Rise up on wings like eagles
All those who call upon His name
Will run and not grow weary
We will walk and never grow faint
Rise up there's strength to follow
Rise up He's calling us to go
The sea's a teardrop in His hand
The earth is dust within His grasp
(That passes through the hourglass)
Though you may feel you are alone,
Left disregarded
You're in the flock of He who shepherds lost and broken hearted
Rise up on wings like eagles
All those who call upon His name
Will run and not grow weary
We will walk and never grow faint
Rise up there's strength to follow
Rise up He's calling us to go
And though we struggle with the fear of doom impending
We know our future holds
A happy ever after ending
Rise up on wings like eagles
All those who call upon His name
Will run and not grow weary
We will walk and never grow faint
Rise up there's strength to follow
Rise up He's calling us to go
Calling us to go
