OUR GOD IS RISEN AND REIGNING
And we’re elevating
The glory of our God and King
Everybody rise and sing
If you’re alive and you’ve been redeemed
Rise and sing, rise and sing
If you’ve been touched by the mercy King
Rise and sing, rise and sing
If you were bound, but now you’re free
Rise and sing, rise and sing
Lift up a shout of victory
Rise and sing, rise and sing
If in your heart rings a melody
Rise and sing, rise and sing
If you have tasted and you have seen
Rise and sing, rise and sing
Let the redeemed of the Lord sing hallelujah
Let the redeemed of the Lord sing our God reigns
