Rise Up

In reality, it's no use-
When you read the Word
but no fruit is produced.

You act like you care
and you say you know it all.
But when it comes time,
your mind is your only downfall.

Spinning downwards into a bottomless pit.
You see the ball but you can't take a hit.
There's a darkness that's blinding you
and it won't let you go!
Lies, hate, and fear are all that you know.

As crazy as it seems,
this is all real.
You think you can hide
But you can only steal.

You rob yourself of your own freedom
and your own sense of worth.
It's time to rise up.
Give flames to the Church.

Stand up everybody!
The Messiah is here!
Holy One of Israel
will destroy all fear.

He'll take you by the hand
and show you the way.
It's the life you've always wanted
So bow down and pray.

He's come to all nations.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
It wasn't your idea,
but it IS your choice.

Forever He will reign.
Forever He will reign.
Oh, Messiah.
You're the one that I praise.

I'm sorry for the hurt.
I'm sorry for the pain.
I'm sorry I left you
again and again.

Goodness you show and
mercy you freely give.
Set fire to my heart
so I might truly live.
