O church arise

<p>O church arise and put your armor on<br/>Hear the call of Christ our captain<br/>For now the weak can say that they are strong<br/>In the strength that God has given<br/><br/>With shield of faith and belt of truth<br/>We&#x27;ll stand against the devil&#x27;s lies<br/>An army bold whose battle cry is love<br/>Reaching out to those in darkness<br/><br/>Our call to war, to love the captive soul<br/>But to rage against the captor<br/>And with the sword that makes the wounded whole<br/>We will fight in faith and valor<br/><br/>When faced with trials on every side<br/>We know the outcome is secure<br/>And Christ will have the prize for which He died<br/>An inheritance of nations<br/>So Spirit come, put strength in every stride<br/>Give grace for every hurdle<br/>That we may run with faith to win the prize<br/>Of a servant good and faithful<br/><br/>As saints of old still line the way<br/>Retelling triumphs of His grace<br/>We hear their calls and hunger for the day<br/>When with Christ we stand in glory<br/><br/>O church arise<br/>O church arise<br/>O church arise<br/>O church arise<br/>O church arise
