Eb                     Bb           Eb                      Bb
Can't see nothin' in front of me   Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness   I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone   How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone  On my shoulder a half mile of line 

Come on up for the rising    Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising    Come on up for the rising tonight 

Left the house this morning     Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here 

Come on up for the rising    Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising    Come on up for the rising tonight

  F                  Gm          Eb                   Bb   F
Spirits above and behind me     Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
 F                        Gm              Eb                  Bb     F
May their precious blood bind me Lord, as I stand before your fiery light

Eb                     Bb              Eb                   Bb
I see you Mary in the garden   In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children  Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me  May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me  Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line 
 Eb                   Bb
Sky of blackness and sorrow (a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness (a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear (a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow (a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life 

Come on up for the rising   Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising   Come on up for the rising tonight 
     F                Eb
