Rise Again {Music Monday}

I am a huge NEEDTOBREATHE fan. They just released a new album back in April and it has been my jam these past few weeks. Their sound may not be for everyone. But everyone would probably agree that you can hear their feelings when you listen to their songs. "Rise Again" is about broken people becoming whole. It reminds me of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17:

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Those who believe that Jesus died and rose again will, one day, rise to meet him in the sky and will be with the Lord for all eternity. Lord, help our disbelief and our feelings of guilt, so that we may fully trust You with our lives.

I know how it started the walls that we build to separate us
Make it wider, stronger, til it's too tall for us to touch
Heaviness is on me I don't see how we might be whole again
We might be better off in the wake of a bitter end

 Oh I know I'm gonna rise again
Set my sights on where I'm going
And my goodbyes to where I've been
Oh I know I'm gonna rise again
Singing farewell king of the broken
So long my friend

We could always count on the same things
The ups and the downs like time
We crawl through the abyss then we came through the other side
Heaviness is only temporary the daylight will soon break in
The sunlight can change a heart in the wake of a bitter end.

Oh I know I'm gonna rise again
Set my sights on where I'm going
And my goodbyes to where I've been
Oh I know I'm gonna rise again
Singing farewell king of the broken
So long my friend

I could see us moving on I can feel that coming on strong
We'll never start all over like this and I still can't believe it

Oh I know I'm gonna rise again
Set my sights on where I'm going
And my goodbyes to where I've been
Oh I know I'm gonna rise again
Singing farewell king of the broken
So long my friend
