Arise... awaken from your sleep The earth... calls in out in desperate need Arise, arise, arise... your light has come (And the glory of the Lord is upon you) You were created for this time So arise, the spirit says arise Arise... this is your destiny Endow... Christ's authority Decree, declare and speak in Jesus' name (And every principality) Was bowed down You were created for this time So arise, the spirit says arise (Spoken:) The Church we see is not the periphery of the world But the world on the periphery of the church Meaning that when God looks at the earth, When He looks at a city, He does not see a city with a church in it; He sees the church with a city around it. The Church is the vehicle by which Jesus Speaks, asks and moves; Everything God wants to do in the earth, He wants to do through His Church. Now that you hear his calling and awakening, What will be your response? Will you sit back, or will you arise? Will you stay asleep, or will you take a stand? I believe that when the Lord speaks, He waits for His people To release a sound of response This is our response: (Choir sings, worship leader ad lib:) We will arise... We will arise... Lord, we are not ashamed to proclaim Your name Jesus... (x3) We will arise... We will arise... Lord, we are not ashamed to proclaim Your name Jesus... (x11) We will arise!
