A man with a spirit and a heart for Christ
Rise Up
Heaven has opened the Pearly Gates
I got a Heaven invitation and I must not be late
Dr. Lowery was under God’s accord and he was being obedient
He was committed to God’s word and whom he was about
It was his praise with a loud shout
That shout was extended into Civil Rights
Wrong that was a plight
Determined and full of fire
This was Rev. Dr. Lowery in not to tire
This was his honor, dignity and pride throughout the Civil Rights Movement
Go and I will follow
Along with those words were, “I shall not be moved, but be inspired by God
Years of torment in the fight for freedom
But it was God’s wisdom every step of the way
Freedom came
But Jesus was the answer
Rev. Dr. Lowery has stories upon stories of his involvement in making change
Through his commitment things began to rearrange
His teachings and preaching’s was salvation to sell
That was definitely Rev. Dr. Lowery show and tell
A man is not complete until he is whole
That philosophy became Dr. Lowery Heaven Threshold
Journey on my Sisters and Brothers
Civil Rights was my movement in the sunrise
But it was truly Christ’s energize that made everything possible
Yet today we must continue to band together and remind the world that the multitudes are the power
Heaven called and that was Rev. Dr. Lowery’s hour
His tomorrow was yesterday, and his robe was put on
March on my children as there is still much work to do
It’s Civil Rights and more important, salvation
Pray until you can’t pray anymore
Faith is the key and the assurance
Christ our Lord being the influence
The clouds have departed and his soul has been lifted up
If Rev. Dr. Lowery had a theme sermon, “Rise Up as Faith is your Deliverance”
But through it all
Rev. Dr. Lowery conquered and saw
Let his footsteps of wisdom being our victory of tomorrow.
