Verse 1: Kristyn Getty
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
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
Verse 2: Kristyn Getty
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
When faced with trials on every side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations
Chorus: Kristyn Getty, (Echo: Chris Tomlin), Both
Arise (arise)
Shine (oh shine)
For your light has come (for your light has come)
Arise (arise)
Shine (oh shine)
For the Risen Son (for the risen Son)
Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride
Arise, o church arise!
Verse 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!
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
Verse 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
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
Chorus: Kristyn Getty, (Echo: Chris Tomlin), Both
Arise (arise)
Shine (oh shine)
For your light has come (for your light has come)
Arise (arise)
Shine (oh shine)
For the Risen Son (for the risen Son)
Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride
Arise, o church arise!
Arise (arise)
Shine (oh shine)
For your light has come (for your light has come)
Arise (arise)
Shine (oh shine)
For the Risen Son (for the risen Son)
Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride
Arise, o church arise!
