Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey!
We are the sons and daughters
Of the risen King
Hands up
Hearts on fire
Hear the freedom sing (yeah!)

[Verse 1]
I was running with my head down
Breathing in the dust and doubt
Every failure like a chain
Trying hard to drag me out
Then I heard You in the chaos
Cutting through the lies I kept
“You were never made for graveyards
Get up from the place you wept”

[Pre-Chorus]
So I stand on the scars You carried
I won’t bow to the fear I feel
When the ground starts to shake beneath me
I plant my feet on something real

[Chorus]
This is my battle cry
Jesus
You’re alive
Every giant falls when You arise
I’ve got victory
Written on my life
By Your blood
By Your cross
I’m revived
I’m not backing down
I’m not giving in
In the fiercest fight
I know we win
This is my battle cry
This is my battle cry
In Christ we rise

[Verse 2]
All the voices say
“You’re finished”
All the darkness says
“You’re done”
But Your promise cuts the pressure
Like a banner in the sun
So I shout it in the shadow
Till the valley hears my song
Even shaking
Even aching
I’ll declare that You are strong (hey!)

[Pre-Chorus]
When the night tries to steal my courage
When the storm tries to drown my praise
I remember the stone was broken
And the grave lost all its claim

[Breakdown]
[Drums drop to tom groove
Guitars staccato]
Hey!
If our God is for us (who can stand?)
Hey!
If the cross already broke these chains
Hey!
If the blood has spoken (it is done)
We won’t run
We won’t run

[Chant]
We walk by faith
Not by sight (not by sight!)
We lift His name
In the fight (in the fight!)
Every wall
Coming down (coming down!)
Every tongue
Shouting out—

[Chorus]
This is my battle cry
Jesus
You’re alive
Every giant falls when You arise
I’ve got victory
Written on my life
By Your blood
By Your cross
I’m revived
I’m not backing down
I’m not giving in
In the fiercest fight
I know we win
This is my battle cry
This is my battle cry
In Christ we rise

[Bridge]
Woah-oh
We are the redeemed (woah-oh)
Woah-oh
Standing in Your peace (woah-oh)
Hell shakes when we believe
You already won for me (yeah!)

[Chorus]
This is my battle cry
Jesus
You’re alive
Every giant falls when You arise
I’ve got victory
Written on my life
By Your blood
By Your cross
I’m revived
I’m not backing down
I’m not giving in
In the fiercest fight
I know we win
This is my battle cry
This is my battle cry
In Christ we rise

[Outro]
Hey!
In Christ we rise
Hey!
This is my battle cry
(yeah!)
