He’s arising, arising in our midst
As a mighty Man of War
Clothed in battle armour
As wielding a two-edged sword
He’s conquering all our enemies
And placing them under His feet
So arise, O God, arise
As a Man of War, mighty Man of War
So arise, O God, arise
As a Man of War
(Repeat chorus twice)
He’s conquering all our enemies
And placing them under His feet
So arise, O God, arise
As a Man of War, mighty Man of War
So arise, O God, arise
As a Man of War, mighty Man of War
So arise, O God, arise
As a Man of War, mighty Man of War
So arise, O God, arise
As a Man of War
