Lyrics
Reign and in the fire, redeemed in the fire. Hey the world had carved its scars upon my weary soul but deep within a whisper called me back to whole. Oh the weight of sin it pulled me to the ground till mercy's hand reached down and turned my world around. Hallelujah, eyes up, redeemed by grace divine. The Savior's love is broken, every chain that binds. Sing it from the rooftops, let the heavens hear. We're walking in His victory, no more room for fear. Oh, yeah. Sweetie, in the fire we'll make free. Testify, oh, testify. His blood has set us free. From the cotton fields to city streets we cry. Generations, both of burdens side by side. But in the choir of saints, our voices lift as one. A symphony of hope beneath the rising sun. No grave could hold Him, no darkness dims His light. He calls us from the ashes to the morning bright. Hallelujah, eyes up, redeemed by grace divine. Hallelujah, eyes up, redeemed by grace divine. The Savior's love is broken, every chain that binds. Sing it from the rooftops, let the heavens hear. No more room for fear. Oh, yeah. Sweetie, in the fire we'll make free. Testify, oh, can you feel it? Lord, the river. Washing clean somehow. Oh, my sorrow. On the cross to glory. The story never ends, His story never ends. His faithful promise, on Him our hope depends. Hallelujah, eyes up, redeemed by grace divine. Sing it from the rooftops, let the heavens hear. Oh, hear our glory. No more room for fear. Oh, yeah. Sweetie, in the fire we'll make free. Hallelujah, eyes up, redeemed by grace divine.
