\"David<\/p>\n

The 42,821 fans in attendance for the Baylor football 2010 opener Saturday enjoyed not only the 34-3 win over Sam Houston State<\/a>; they were also treated to the debut of the latest song by Baylor alumnus and award-winning recording artist David Crowder<\/a>, “Rise Up.”<\/p>\n

Crowder was inspired to write the song after seeing the Baylor “Rise Up” commercials<\/a> on local television. “That ‘Rise Up’ there \u2014 it just made something in the heart swell,” he told the Waco Tribune-Herald<\/em><\/a>. Crowder went to bed that night and woke up the next morning with the song in his head; he recorded it that afternoon and shared it with a friend in Baylor’s athletic department. “They got pretty excited, and I was already excited,” he says. “So we went ahead and polished it up, and it’s part of the opening video sequence” for Baylor football this season.<\/p>\n

A 60-second version of the song played as the team took the field Saturday, and the song was played in its entirety between the third and fourth quarters. The Trib<\/em> reports that the song is being released to Christian radio today, but it’s available just for Baylor fans as a free download at baylor.edu\/riseup<\/a> and baylorbears.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
