There were nights where I never wanted to see another morning in my life, Being pained crushed, broken apart, For our Christ is the hope and give us strength to Rise up Rise up, God bless you Matt and May Lord use you more for his ministry ahead
Every time I hear a Christian song, why is my heart suddenly filled with life? Christian songs like this inspired me to write songs of what's in my heart. I admire Matt Maher's songs!
God is the author of life and wants to give us an abundant life. Satan seeks to destroy life. God uses people to lead others to Him, the giver of life who wants the best for us.
The amazing thing about music is how often the “perfect” song will come on at exactly the moment you need to here it. I am in the midst of a drought personally - under attack and smelling defeat - but still fighting. This song came on the radio this morning - it put wind in my sails for the rest of the day. If you are on the ropes today - give this song a listen - it will pick you up, guaranteed. Be brave brother, and never stop fighting. Peace & God Bless!
Maher was the entertainment at my steubenville conference this year..im proud to say that i snuck up behind him when he was off stage and hugged the crap out of him.
This is my next alarmclock song. Now I can wake up to "RISE UP RISE UP" Previous songs used for morning alarm: God Is On The Move - 7venth time down Nothings Gonna Stop Us - Side Walk Prophets.
When i first heard this song at the march for life rally i was goin through a hard time and i heard this song and it taught me everythings gonna be alright if i just trust in God and that's what i did
One of my all time favorite Christian songs! I had the amazing opp to hear you play it live in Minnesota huge blessing. Such an embodiment of the words I believe Christ wants to fill us with. This song continues to stay with me on my journey. Peace brothers!
If you can get to one of his concerts!!! You'll be glad you did!!! The man is TRULY God Gifted!!! I just went Friday night 3/9/18, in High Point, N.C., to see him. I honest don't believe there is a single song Matt sings, that can't keep from going Gold!!!! GO SEE HIM!!! AWESOME CONCERT!!!
*JESUS is my King. He is the King of Glory. He is my Lord and my Saviour. I will Praise and worship Jesus all the days of my life. Blessed are all those who trust in Him.*
Man I really needed to hear this. I've been going through unbelievable spiritual warfare for going on two years, and I mean unbelievable...I've wanted to give up and give in to the enemy just to get him off my back. God's been silent most of the time and it's been incredibly hard. This is good🙂
the first time i saw matt i had no idea who he was but he was playing at a retreat i went to and i ended up in the front row and dancing and this is one of my favorites by him. honestly a really great singer and one of the biggest reasons i started listening to christian music. God bless him
Rise Up Matt Maher When you see the road ahead That you've been down before When you're halfway to nowhere And you can't pay the toll You're hanging onto mercy Withered on the vine With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds And your heart on the line Open up your eyes You've got to rise up, rise up When this life has got you down You've got to look up, look up When you search and nothing's found My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now It's coming down So rise up now When you're told that day is over Long after the sun goes down And your mind it keeps on racing At the dreams that don't come 'round When you don't know how to surrender Cause your whole life's been a fight When the dark holds you and you can't break through Cause you haven't seen the light Open up your eyes You've got to rise up, rise up When this life has got you down You've got to look up, look up When you search and nothing's found My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now It's coming down So rise up now Yeah rise up now Oh rise up now And all the lambs roar like lions And all the prisoners breaking their chains And all the poor find their treasure Cause heaven is coming this way And all the lambs roar like lions And all the prisoners breaking their chains And all the poor find their treasure Cause heaven is coming this way Rise up, rise up When this life has got you down You've got to look up, look up When you search and nothing's found My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now It's coming down So rise up now Yeah rise up now Oh rise up now
For our mission trip this year the theme was rise up, this was the song that we learned over the course of the week. This song kept our spirits going when our bodies wanted to quit.
Would like to ask you guys to pray for me as I am a crossroads of my personal life.Pray for wisdom in discerning love.Pray for strength to go on and to break free of things that hold me back from being what He wants me to be
I not just love the song but the video complemented it really well. Wished I grew up with a father who chose his family rather than himself when life got hard.

Thanks Matt for your music I´m from Mexico City and my friend buys your álbum in New jersey and gives to me Thank you for you express with your music the love of God
Very inspiring song to keep on 'Fighting the Good Fight of Faith'. Jesus never told us we would live problem free lives, but He did promise He would be with us through it all.
Hi. My name is Anna, I am 18 years old. I have never self harmed, done drugs, or been abused. I live a great life. But I have my own struggles and I don't know what I am going to do in the future. There is going to be a of changes coming very soon. I feel like all my friends are going to leave me, I feel very lonely, I don't drive yet, I have never had a job, I have a lot of things to catch up on,I have fallen behind in school from home schooling, I am scared and I often crumble in public situations. Also I have gotten back into an old addiction of mine and am trying to crawl my way out of it again... I know a lot of people that ask for stuff have it a lot worse then I do but could anyone pray for me?
Anna - just read your post asking for prayers. I am praying for you now: Dear Lord, please fill Anna's heart with the assurance that she is NOT ALONE! Help her recognize she is your precious daughter, that you created her for a specific purpose and that she is here on earth to discover and fulfill that. Help her connect with "your hands and feet" in wise and loving Christian guides who can help her along the way. Go to church, Anna, get on your knees and earnestly ask for God's help. He will answer you. When you have no faith, when you are full of doubt, trust that God is with you even though you can't feel it, keep putting one foot in front of the other. Choose to do what you know is right, what is GOOD for you, keep asking for Jesus to be beside you in each moment, and He WILL answer your prayers. You can do it WITH God's grace. Allow His spirit to move within you. Our journey is a long, crooked, sometimes broken path, but we are heading HOME to be with God our loving Father and Creator, and Jesus our Brother, Savior and Friend, and all those who have faithfully walked this path before us. He promised He would give us His Spirit to help us, and He has! Just pray, choose to do good, look around you and start helping others, and the blessings will flow for you! God bless you! Amen - Jennifer, 46 (I have been where you are!)
Hey Anna! Don't be discouraged! The Lord is always there for you and you can always look to Him for help in these difficult times. I'll be praying for ya:)
Anna! You are in my prayers, right now. I've been where you are, I used to crumble in public situations. I have struggled with addiction in my life, more than most might imagine, but Jesus never leaves you, no matter what. Whatever pain you go through, He can redeem it. If He allows you to suffer, it is because He is making you strong and sure. I will pray that you know His love, and that you rebuke any form of despair that comes your way. I have never self-harmed either, but the pain that you feel is just as valid as those who face such temptations. Well, I don't know if any of this helps. I know that pain can only truly be understood by the one who is facing it and the One who will make those wounds Glorious, just like His own! Just hang in there and know that you can count on my prayers. God Bless you, Anna.
Hello, I recommend you contact the people of young life this is an excellent group, they're going to be able to help I assure you. www.younglife.org/en/Pages/default.aspx
Hi Ana, I am maybe in a similar situation. I'm finishing the university and I am so nervous, and many times I get panic. But after all, PRAY! and Trust. I assure you, after you will br better. This is a huge step but not the end. TRUST still you cant'see. Jesus is working you, and He LOVES you completely, and forgive all your sim. God, I pray you for Ana. Smile!
There were nights where I never wanted to see another morning in my life,
Being pained crushed, broken apart,
For our Christ is the hope and give us strength to Rise up Rise up,
God bless you Matt and May Lord use you more for his ministry ahead
Every time I hear a Christian song, why is my heart suddenly filled with life?

+Mackenzie Ferry God uses artists like Matt to speak to peoples hearts.
God is the author of life and wants to give us an abundant life. Satan seeks to destroy life. God uses people to lead others to Him, the giver of life who wants the best for us.
Sure
Everytime I hear one from around this time period, I feel purpose.
The amazing thing about music is how often the “perfect” song will come on at exactly the moment you need to here it. I am in the midst of a drought personally - under attack and smelling defeat - but still fighting. This song came on the radio this morning - it put wind in my sails for the rest of the day.

Rise Up
Matt Maher
When you see the road ahead
That you've been down before
When you're halfway to nowhere
And you can't pay the toll
You're hanging onto mercy
Withered on the vine
With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds
And your heart on the line
Open up your eyes
You've got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now
When you're told that day is over
Long after the sun goes down
And your mind it keeps on racing
At the dreams that don't come 'round
When you don't know how to surrender
Cause your whole life's been a fight
When the dark holds you and you can't break through
Cause you haven't seen the light
Open up your eyes
You've got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now
Yeah rise up now
Oh rise up now
And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
And all the poor find their treasure
Cause heaven is coming this way
And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
And all the poor find their treasure
Cause heaven is coming this way
Rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now
Yeah rise up now
Oh rise up now
I LOVE this song, but I want to cry cause I need this reminder everyday.
For our mission trip this year the theme was rise up, this was the song that we learned over the course of the week. This song kept our spirits going when our bodies wanted to quit.

When you're half way to nowhere
And you can't pay the toll
To hangin' on to mercy
Whithered on the (Incomprehensible)
With your feet on the ground
Your head in the clouds
And your heart on the line
Open up your eyes
You got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
But I just see the glory of the love thet's here
And now it's coming down
So rise up now, yeah, yeah
When you (Incomprehensible) goes down
And your mind keeps on (Incomprehensible)
At the dreams that don't come around
When you don't know how to surrender
'Cause your whole life's been a fight
When the dark comes to you
And you can't break through
'Cause you haven't seen the light
