Story Behind The Song

This song was honestly written out of a place of agitation. There have been times where I have been so frustrated with believers who spend more time arguing about political and social issues but hardly doing anything to impact the Kingdom of God with their own personal testimony. Rather than choosing to be bitter, I set out to write a song to challenge myself and others to put wings to our faith and allow it to soar.

Song Description

This song is a wake up call for believers to get up and get to work. It's a call to action to live out the Great Commission.

Verse 1
Awaken our hearts
To tell of Your story
Summon the call
To proclaim to the earth
Your glory and grace
As we surrender our praise

Verse 2
Rekindle the flame
That once gave us passion
Stir our desires
To declare to the nations
Your glory and grace
As we surrender our praise

Misc 1
(PRE-CHORUS)
Lead us now in the path of compassion
Give us the courage to tell of Your ways
Challenge the faith that is now set before us
As we surrender to Your praise

Chorus 1
We arise
We arise
We arise
For You

We arise
We arise
We arise
For You

Misc 2
(TAG)
Lord we take up our cross
And we follow You
We arise
We arise

We are counting the cost
And we're trusting You
We arise
We arise
