Verse 1
Breathe, darling, breathe
It’s not yet time for you to leave
Don’t lose hope
Let your heart believe and hold out faith (oh, oh)
Sunrise rays
Shining down upon your face
Prophesy
An appointed end to suffering
Pre-Chorus
Love will have its day
Keep on in the way
Yeah, love will have its day
Keep on in the way
Chorus
Lift up your head, lift up your head
Your sorrow, you’ll forget when the joy comes quickly
Crying will end, wounds He will mend
And stories be penned of the faithful
Post-Chorus
Oh, turn your face to the rising sun
While you wait, while you wait
For redemption to come
Oh, lift up your head
Verse 2
Sorrow comes
In losing what you wanted
Expectations face
Another wait, the heart begins to faint
Hold out hope
You can’t yet see
What’s right around the corner
The dark night will be over
Oh, oh
Pre-Chorus
Love will have its day
Keep on in the way
Chorus
Lift up your head, lift up your head
Your sorrow, you’ll forget when the joy comes quickly
Crying will end, wounds He will mend
And stories be penned of the faithful
Bridge 1
He never promised it’d be easy
Never said there’d be no trouble
Lift your head up, for you know He’s overcome
And when your strength is weak
And in tears you’re swimming deep
He promised redemption to those
Who would wait patiently
Bridge 2
Oh, there is a redemption coming
(Oh) Oh, there is a redemption coming
(Oh) Oh, there is a redemption coming
(Oh) Oh, there is a redemption coming
(Oh) Oh
Chorus
Lift up your head, lift up your head
Your sorrow, you’ll forget when the joy comes quickly
Crying will end, wounds He will mend
And stories be penned of the faithful
Lift up your head, lift up your head
Your sorrow, you’ll forget when the joy comes quickly
Crying will end, wounds He will mend
And stories be penned of the faithful
Post-Chorus
Oh, turn your face to the rising sun
While you wait, while you wait
For redemption to come
Oh, lift up your head
