Story Behind The Song
I recently read the book, "Glory Days" by Max Lucado and was inspired to write a song about Joshua's journey into the promised land. From the Jordan to Jericho, Joshua never lost Hope. And he never let the Israelites lose help as well. He reminded them that Hope is Rising up in us all...
Song Description
Every person faces their own "Jordan River" or "Jericho Wall" that they have to overcome. This song just tells you that Hope is ALWAYS rising in you and no one can take it from you. You can overcome it in Him.

Lyrics
Hope Rising
Across the Jordan I can see
The promise given unto me
Waves of doubt have touched my feet
But I believe...
The past I trusted in has died
The road ahead of me untried
And now you tell me that it's time
To Arise... We Arise
Hope is rising in us
Hope is rising in us
There is no ceiling, no walls
That can contain who we are
The walls of Jericho were strong
But everyday we're marching on
We place our trust in HIM alone
Until they fall. The walls will fall ...
Hope is rising in us
Hope is rising in us
There is no ceiling, no walls
That can contain who we are
Even when we can't see
Against all odds we believe
With every step that we take
A Miracle Awaits
Unshakeable... our faith
