Story Behind The Song
God can always be found in the valley of crisis. This song was written in such a valley. The Word of God is a saving force. All verses come from Scripture.
Song Description
May God rise above all that anguish the weary soul.
For the contemporary pilgrim, our foes are seldom of the flesh and blood, but of circumstance, loss, and inner turmoil.
Notice in the following Scripture that God leads and guards the weary soul with songs...With song. This song came to me as promised.
Psalm 32: 6-8
Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them. You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Numbers 10:35
Whenever the ark set out, Moses said,
"Rise up, LORD!
May your enemies be scattered;
may your foes flee before you."

Lyrics
There's one thing that I know
Two things I have heard
That God alone is strong
And, He alone is good
Rise up, O Lord, Scatter your foes
Slay fear and doubt, And refine me
With a faith... A faith I know
Rise Up. Rise Up. Rise Up
Rise up, O Lord, Shepherd my soul
Show me Your way, And Refine me
With a faith..., A faith that grows
Rise Up. Rise Up. Rise Up
BRIDGE
Lay me Down, on green pasture
Fill me up, by still water
And comfort me, oh Lord, comfort me
And overflow
Rise Up. Rise Up. Rise...
TAG
Rise Up. Rise Up. Rise Up
There's one thing that I know
Two things I have heard
That God alone is strong
And, He alone is good
