Rising Sun

Here’s a song I wrote over the summer. It’s pretty much a the story of someone coming to Christ. David and I recorded it a few weeks ago. There’s no drum track because recording drums sounds terrible (because of the recorder) and the beat isn’t quite steady. Still, overall, I think it came out pretty well. Hope you enjoy!



Here are the lyrics:

Rising Sun
By Jonathan Wright

You are a dry and thirsty desert
a land that is haunted by self
you are blind to the light
you crawl on your hands and your knees

your swollen bleeding body
sinks into the mud of your sin
the endless struggle drains you
the fight to stay on top of the world

desperately trying for something more
but for what?
he has everything he ever wanted
will it last?

a hand reaches down
you cling to it (echo)
you are lifted from the pit
up into the light of the rising sun

Run into his open arms
follow him to death and victory
be free from the grip of sin
and believe
