WE’RE RISING UP ACROSS THE WORLD
The perfect bride of Christ
No more chains, no more religion
We’re crying out across the world
The perfect bride of Christ
No more empires, no manipulation
As we fix our eyes on You
Our eyes on You, our eyes on You
And the light will break the darkness
We will be the light, for we are the light
Our deeds forever selfless
We will be the light, for we are the light
As we stand in the power, of the risen King
The glorious bride, The glorious bride
A storm is rising across the world, the perfect bride of Christ
Standing confident, standing secure
The rivers joining as one tide, the perfect bride of Christ
Standing ready, Standing tall
We will shine for You, we will shine for You
We will shine for You, we will shine for You
For the bride is rising up, the tide is turning now
As we stand in Christ alone, in his glory, strength and power
We will see the captives free, We will see this nation won
We will see the wind of change, as the lost come running home
