Verso 1

O church arise
And put your armor on
Hear the call of Christ
Our captain
For now the weak can say
That they are strong
In the strength
That God has given

Pré Refrão

With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies
An army bold whose battle cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness

Verso 2

Our call to war
To love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword
That makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor

Pré Refrão

When faced with trials on ev'ry side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have
The prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations

Refrão

Arise shine for your light has come
Arise shine for the Risen Son
Lift your eyes
We are His radiant bride
Arise O church arise

Verso 3

Come see the cross
Where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes
Lie crushed beneath His feet
For the Conqueror has risen

Pré Refrão

And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from the grave
This victory march
Continues till the day
Ev’ry eye and heart shall see Him

Verso 4

So Spirit come
Put strength in every stride
Give grace for every hurdle
That we may run with faith
To win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful

Pré Refrão

As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls
And hunger for the day
When with Christ
We stand in Glory

Refrão

Arise shine for your light has come
Arise shine for the Risen Son
Lift your eyes
We are His radiant bride
Arise O church arise
