Rise up and shine, oh nation of Israel
Don't you know you are the apple of His eye
Rise up in power, you chosen people
It's time for you to take your wings and fly
Rise up and shine
Your hour has come
[Chorus]
End times are coming
I know you'll go the distance
End times are here
I know you will not fall
All nations will sound up in these final days
They come from everywhere just to see you fall
Keep your eyes fixed upon the mighty Saviour
Don't let your heart despair at all
Rise up and shine
Your hour has come
[Chorus]
