Rise

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust 

We rise in the fire of the Spirit 

Like eagles born to fly

To find our rest and our strength in Him

To run the race and not be weary

To be made new

Made whole 

Designated as God's chosen people

Peculiar, set apart, to stand out

To rise above the crowd, 

surfing over the waves of animosity 

Soaring over the doldrums with 20/20 vision

He sees us

He knows us

He calls us His own

Reconciled back to Him under the Spirit of Adoption 

We find ourselves in Him

Seated in the heavenlies far above the rule of man

Far above the powers and principalities of this world

Armoured up

Rise children of the Most High! Rise! 

The time is coming, the time is here

Where the darkness grows upon the earth

But we shine bright like the sun

For in this darkness the glory of The Lord shines brighter

Darkness cannot comprehend Him

As His sons we shine, we rise like eagles

Flying, soaring far above the chaos and calamity

In the eye of the storm, the calm of the storm

For He told us to be still and know He is God

Calming the raging storms within with nothing but a word

For His word is Spirit and life

He is Spirit and life

In Him we have our resurrection

In Him we have LIFE

Dead and buried to sin, partaking in His death, His inheritance

We rise from the grave of our sinful natures

Putting to death our old selves 

We RISE

We rise because in Him we live, we move and have our very being 

Soaring in the heavenlies

Rise children of the most high RISE

Rise to your mandate

Rise to your priesthood 

Rise up and take your authority

Rise up and take your inheritance 

For satan has no dominion here

Where Christ is the enemy cannot dwell 

Rise up and fulfil your original mandate 

Rise up and reconcile the earth back for the glory of The Lord 

RISE!
