Song Lyrics Page

angel rising

 

Can I forgive sin?

Can I forgive hate?

Can I take them in,

Can I bear the weight?

To open my heart

with grace and humility?

How is it possible

to love my enemy?

 

Can I give back love?

Can I turn my cheek?

Can I rise above?

What will others think?

To open my eyes to love

and really see?

How is it possible

to love my enemy?

 

Angel rising in my soul,

Press on towards the goal,

Forgetting what's behind me.

Straining toward what lay ahead,

To the prize I'm led,

To that which God has called me.

 

Can I free my heart,

Can I free my mind

From the bitterness

That would make them blind?

An eye for an eye

And nobody sees,

How is it possible

to love my enemy?

 

Angel rising in my soul,

Press on towards the goal,

Forgetting what's behind me.

Straining toward what lay ahead,

To the prize I'm led,

To that which God has called me.

 

Press on, press on,

Press on, press on.

 

I long for the light that shines up above

With the promise of a brighter day,

For the human family at last in peace and love,

Is it possible to dream that way?

Oh yes, it is!

 

Angel rising in my soul,

Press on towards the goal,

Forgetting what's behind me.

Straining toward what lay ahead,

To the prize I'm led,

To that which God has called me.

 

Press on, press on,

Press on, press on.
