"Everything That Rises" lyrics - SUFJAN STEVENS

Can you lift me up to a higher place?
Forget everything that was before
Turn your face around like a salted sphere
Turn yourself around to see what once was there

[Chorus:]
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises

Jesus lift me up to a higher plane
(To a higher plane)
Can you come around before I go insane?
(Before I go insane)
Cast me not in stone, while my demons rage
(While my demons rage)
Turn yourself around to see what I can say
(To see what I can say)

[Chorus:]
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises

Turn yourself away
From the wickedness I said
Evil comes to play
In the image of the dead

[Chorus:]
Everything rises must converge
Everything rises in a word
Everything rises must converge
Everything rises

[Outro:]
Everything rises (Everything rises)
Everything rises (Everything rises)
Everything rises (Everything rises)
Everything rises
