Oh Church Arise

I've been really blessed by this lately...awesome message. So very true! Our God reigns!

Words by: Keith and Kristyn Getty

Oh, 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.

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,
THE INHERITANCE OF NATIONS.

Come see the cross where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken.
And 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,
His victory march continues to the day,
Every eye and heart will see Him.

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 light the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace.
WE HEAR THE CALL AND HUNGER FOR THE DAY
WHEN WITH CHRIST WE STAND IN GLORY!
