Lyrics

Verse 1 You have worn many titles—but they aren’t your name. You have chosen to carry burdens— No one else would ever try or claim— You’ve smiled through great sorrow— Even knowing the load of tomorrow— You’ve won the battles within— And for your family—you’d fight—and win them again— But then—in the quiet stillness of the twilight— After praying through the night— You know to listen—ohhhh—you listen for that still small voice—whispered above the fray— And you know—when you hear Him—He is near—and you’re ready for another day— **Pre-Chorus** And the Lord whispers— “Daughter, your Heavenly Father is here!” “You have called—and ohhhh—I always draw near!” “Listen and hear—you are not what hurt you—You are not what failed—I will hold you up—secured by my grace—And my love for you—it has richly prevailed!” **Chorus** Soooo—rise! Rise dear daughter—rise! The King is calling your name Lift your head and heart—there is no more shame! Soooo—rise! Rise dear daughter—rise! Grace is reaching for you—your chains are breaking—they will hold you no more— Oh—my daughter rise—shake the dust of this world off your feet— Live no more in despair and defeat— and rise! Oh—my daughter rise—I am your King—forevermore! **Verse 2** I saw you in the lonely places—deep within your heart— I pulled you close—when it all started to fall apart. I caught all the midnight tears— I am your strong conqueror—amidst all your fears— I have heard—and I have kept—every whispered prayer—they are treasure to My ears And for you—ohhhhh—I really do care— **Pre-Chorus** “Oh, daughter—you are not alone!” “You belong to me—and I watch over you—for by me—you and your name are fully known! Now let me turn your ashes into beauty And your captive heart— I will set free— For a Heavenly Father— You have found—in me! **Chorus** Soooo—rise! Rise dear daughter—rise! The King is calling your name Lift your head and heart—there is no more shame! Soooo—rise! Rise dear daughter—rise! Grace is reaching for you—your chains are breaking—they hold you no more— Oh—my daughter rise—shake the dust of this world off your feet—and rise! Oh—my daughter rise—I am your King—forevermore! **Tag** “Daughter, rise!” “You are highly favored and I watch you with My very own eyes!” “Daughter, rise!” “You are loved, and by Me—you have been named—and for My purpose—you are saved and claimed!” “Daughter, rise!” The King is calling your name—not from far above Heaven’s skies— For He’s right beside you— Daughter, He’s your Heavenly Father and He is here!” “You have called—and your Father—ohhhh—He is always near!”

Rise Dear Daughter Rise

Read together: Mark 5:21–43; 1 Kings 19:9–13; Isaiah 52:1–2; Isaiah 61:1–3; Zephaniah 3:17; Isaiah 43:1

Many women carry more names than they can count: wife, mother, daughter, caregiver, provider, the one everyone leans on. Those titles are real, and many are a calling from God. But none of them is the deepest thing God says about you. Scripture keeps returning to a simpler, more tender word, spoken by the Lord Himself: Daughter.

Read Mark 5:21–43. In one afternoon Jesus met two daughters. The first had been bleeding for twelve years. She had spent everything she had on doctors and grew worse, and under the law her condition left her unclean and alone. She hoped only to touch His cloak and slip away unseen. Jesus stopped the crowd, looked for her, and spoke to her in front of everyone: “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.” He would not let her leave as a nameless problem that had been fixed. He sent her home as family.

The second daughter was twelve years old, and by the time Jesus reached the house she had died. He took her by the hand and said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” And she got up. What the world calls the end, Jesus answers with one word: Rise.

Often that word does not come in a crowd but in the quiet. Read 1 Kings 19:9–13. Elijah was exhausted, afraid, and convinced he was alone. The Lord was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. Then came “a still, small voice,” asking him what he was doing there, and sending him back to his calling. God still meets His weary children in the stillness after a long night of prayer, and what He speaks there is enough for another day.

What does He say? Read Isaiah 52:1–2. “Shake off your dust! Rise up… Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.” Your past hurts and failures are real, but they are not your name. Read Isaiah 61:1–3. The Messiah came to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and “to give them a crown of beauty for ashes.” Jesus read this passage aloud in Nazareth and announced that it was being fulfilled in Him (Luke 4:16–21). The chains are broken at the cross, where He bore our sin and shame so that we could be free.

And He does not watch from a distance. Read Zephaniah 3:17. “The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.” Not one tear is wasted; David could pray, “Put my tears in Your bottle—are they not in Your book?” (Psalm 56:8). And not one child is forgotten: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!” (Isaiah 43:1).

If you have never trusted Jesus, this invitation is for you. He is calling your name. Come to Him just as you are, and let Him give you the name that no failure can take away. And though this song speaks to daughters, the Father calls His sons the same way. Everyone who comes to Jesus is welcomed home as a child of God (John 1:12).

A moment to respond: Read Mark 5:34 slowly, and hear Jesus speak it to you. Then find a quiet place, even for five minutes, and listen before you speak. Write down one title you have been carrying as if it were your whole identity, and next to it write what God calls you: His child, redeemed, called by name.

Let's pray: Heavenly Father, You see every daughter carrying burdens no one else notices. Thank You that in Jesus You call us by name and claim us as Your own. Where we are weary, speak in the stillness. Where we are bound, break the chains. Give beauty for ashes and joy for mourning. Take us by the hand, as Jesus took that little girl, and help us rise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that every weary heart would hear the Father’s voice calling, “Daughter, rise,” and find in Jesus the name, the freedom and the rest that only He can give.
