Duane Stephenson - Heaven Will Rise Up

You judge a man by the length of his hair
You think we're foolish 'cause we're young
You took our hopes, and replaced them with fears, yeah
With empty promises that makes you hurt
You say that there will be freedom, yeah
The freedom to live, to live as you say
Generation of vipers what they always say
I know there'll be a price to pay

For the heavens will rise up against you
My Father's hand will hear your name
Hell on earth will be your playground
But a higher calling will bear my name, yeah
A higher calling bears my name

I lost for love, don't deny me my due
I live and I breathe and I die like you
Never had much to give
Still you take my respect for granted
Now you wonder why I say
That I pay the price, for the things that are free
Satisfying your need to be better than me
You said there'd be justice, but you lied to them
I've seen the seven ways you play
I've seen the seven ways you play

For the heavens will rise up against you
My Father's hand will hear your name
Hell on earth will be your playground
But a higher calling will bear my name
Higher calling will bear my name

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh

When I feel, there's nowhere to go
And my best has nothing to show
There is the Almighty, showing me the way
Saying, "Don't give up, it's not as hard as they say"
Don't give in, look at what life really means
Just be strong, there's joy through your sorrows
But if you do wrong...

The heavens will rise up against you
If you do wrong...
My Father's hand will bear your name
If you do wrong...
Hell on earth will be your playground
If you do wrong...
But a higher calling will bear my name
Higher calling will bear my name

The heavens will rise up against you
If you do wrong...
My Father's hand will bear your name
If you do wrong...
Hell on earth...
