Andrew Mark

"I Will Rise"

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise, I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise, I will rise


My heart weeps again for Andrew and Grace Mark. God is a God of miracles, I have no doubt about that. He can heal Andrew as he lays in the hospital bed for possibly his last day. God is big, even if He chooses not to, God can still heal Andrew. This morning as I drove Hannah to preschool, I was praying for Andrew and Grace. Just like the doctor had predicted, the hole in Andrew's neck reached the main artery in his neck and he started to bleed out. He is in the hospital now, the doctors are saying that this will be his last day. E-mails have been sent out asking for prayer. Blogs that reach across the globe have been posted. Many prayers of brothers and sisters in Christ are unified for this family, and that is comforting. Soon, we will all be rejoicing, either in Andrew's homecoming or God sustaining his life! Praise to God for making His glory known!
