[Intro] (slap bass and horn stabs, 8 bars, tight funky groove building before the vocal enters) [Verse 1 - Voice 1] Seven times I've fallen, seven times I've hit the floor Seven times I've wondered if I'll rise up anymore But Jesus never counted out the ones who stumbled here He counts the ones who get back up, He draws them near [Pre-Chorus - Voices 1+2] So watch me stand, watch me rise Grace is how I get back up each time [Chorus - Full trio] Get up again, dust off and rise Jesus is the reason I don't stay down Get up again, look to the skies Grace is what turns my failing around [Verse 2 - Voice 2] It's not about how many times I hit the ground It's about the hand that always turns me back around Every fall's a setup for a bigger kind of rise Jesus lifts the fallen till they touch the skies [Pre-Chorus - Voices 1+2] So watch me stand, watch me rise Grace is how I get back up each time [Chorus - Full trio] Get up again, dust off and rise Jesus is the reason I don't stay down Get up again, look to the skies Grace is what turns my failing around [Instrumental interlude] (instrumental — slap bass and horn stabs trade over the funky groove, 12 bars) [Bridge - Voice 3 solo then layered] Seven times or seventy, it don't matter how many falls Grace keeps lifting, grace keeps calling That's the story, that's the story of my life Every time I hit the ground, grace meets me right there Lifting me up like it's always been fair I don't earn it, I just receive it again (Trio, layered) Grace keeps calling, grace keeps calling me back up [Final Chorus] Get up again, that's what grace will do Jesus lifts the fallen, He's lifting me and you Get up again, dust off and rise Grace is what turns my failing around [Final Chorus - repeat, full trio] Get up again, dust off and rise Jesus is the reason I don't stay down Get up again, look to the skies Grace is what turns my failing around [Outro] Up again by grace, rising every time Up again by grace, that's the story of my life Up again by grace, I'll never stay down Up again by grace, that's where I'm found
