I Will Rise

Hey Y'all!

Thanks Anna! She did this a LONG time ago, and this has quite honestly been sitting as a draft for a good long time. Anyways, she was so kind as to tag anyone who wants to do it, so I am taking her up on it! I'm going to do the same format as she did with the questions, answers, and comments...worked pretty good.

Okay, so for those of you who don't know, you grab your IPod or Mp3, or turn on ITunes. This is my first time to do this cause I don't have any of those, but...Playlist works! Just set it to random! So, no cheating was done here, cross my heart. The first thing that popped up, I did. So some of them don't make any sense, some are really, well, bad (LOL), and some work so well you just burst out laughing. So...do you want me to stall more or are you ready???

You're all I need - Bethany Dillon *Love this song!* Actually, I love it so much I'm going to post the lyrics...

When the day is done
And there's no one else around
While I'm lying here in bed
You're in my heart, You're in my head

You're all I need, You're all I need
There are a million voices
Calling out my name
But You're the One I want to hear
So make the others disappear

You are all I need when I'm surrounded
You are all I need if I'm by myself
You fill me when I'm empty
There is nothing else
You're all I need

When the morning comes
And Your mercy is renewed
There's a fire in my bones
I'm not afraid to go alone
You're all I need
You're all I need
The sun on my face
I hear You whisper loud
You're still the God that opens seas
Every flower, even me
You're all I need
You're all I need

I'm drawn to everything that You do
Nothing compares with You
