Lyrics
Verse 1
When someone pays you evil don’t look to find revenge.
You have to stand and make a choice; choose right today, my friend.

Chorus
I’m gonna rise, rise above the conflict, gonna rise and take a stand.
I’m gonna rise, rise above the conflict, live at peace with every man.
I’m gonna rise, rise above the conflict, I’ll forgive as I’m forgiven.
I’m gonna rise, rise above the conflict, I will do all that I can.

Verse 2
The body says it’s fight or flight, no other choice is found.
But God says there’s a better way, your kindness should abound!

Bridge
I will not do what comes so easily,
to fight and frown and sin.
Instead I’ll prove God’s strength within;
through kindness I will win.
