Beneath The Waters (I Will Rise)
by Hillsong Worship
Theology & Meaning
Rooted in the imagery of baptism as described in Romans 6:3-4 - being buried with Christ and raised to walk in newness of life. The song proclaims key salvation truths: that by Christ's sacrifice our sin is washed away and we are made alive in Him.
Worship Leadership Tips
This song is a natural choice for baptism services or any time you want to reaffirm the basics of the gospel in song. If using during baptisms, coordinate so the most declarative parts coincide with the moment someone comes up out of the water.
Arrangement Tips
Lead with confident joy; even though it starts gently, it's a song of triumph. Build momentum gradually and let the congregation's voices ring on 'I will rise.'
