DAUGHTER, ARISE

(written by Randy Kartchner, Vickey Pahnke,

Julie de Azevedo, & Kenneth Cope)

 

Free—I won’t hurt again

I fly into the light

And greeting me—friends I cannot name

In a world of perfect white

But they say that I’m not here to stay

The Lord has chosen me

To bring glory to His name

 

I must go and be His miracle

And leave this paradise

When the Master says, “Daughter, arise”

 

Peace like I’ve never known

And still I understand

Why I must leave this heavenly home

To fulfill a higher plan

I see Mother grieving over me

While Father pleads with Jesus

To take me by the hand

 

I will gladly be His miracle

And leave this paradise

When the Master says, “Daughter, arise”

 

Now I go to be His miracle

And leave this world of light

For the Master calls, “Daughter, arise”
