Now is the time to make a stand
To rise up and take the promised land
To walk in the favour of our God
Lift up your eyes to see the King
Upon you His glory will be seen
‘Cause His light is rising up on you
Arise, shine
For the glory of the Lord is upon You
Arise, shine
Shine His light
I can feel something in the air
The Spirit of God is surely here
As the church rises up to Him
The nations they come to sing His praise
The lost are found running to His grace
‘Cause His light is shining up on you
Arise, arise, arise, arise
Church arise, arise, arise, arise
Church arise, arise, arise, arise
Church arise, arise, arise, arise
Church arise
(repeat)
