O Church Arise (Live)

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>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/>With shield of faith and belt of truth<br/>We’ll stand against the devil’s lies<br/>An army bold, whose battle cry is love<br/>Reaching out to those in darkness<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<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 with faith and valor<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/>[Chorus]<br/>Arise, shine for your light has come<br/>Arise, shine for the Risen Son<br/>Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride<br/>Arise, o church arise!<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>Come, see the cross, where love and mercy meet<br/>As the Son of God is stricken<br/>Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet<br/>For the Conqueror has risen!<br/>And as the stone is rolled away<br/>And Christ emerges from the grave<br/>This victory march continues till the day<br/>Ev’ry eye and heart shall see Him<br/><br/>[Verse 4]<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/>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/>[Chorus]<br/>Arise, shine for your light has come<br/>Arise, shine for the Risen Son<br/>Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride<br/>Arise, o church arise!
