(ft. Marc James & Kate Cooke)
Verse 1
There?s a grace that comes when we say yes
To the fire of your holiness
We want you and we want nothing less
Fill our empty hands and lives Jesus
Verse 2
We are blessed when have nothing left
But to hunger for your righteousness
We want you and we want nothing less
Break the pride that hinders us Jesus
Pre Chorus
Let your church arise
In truth and grace
Chorus
Now for the real thing
Now for the kingdom come
Now for refining
We are more than we?ve become
Now for repenting
Until our only cry is ?Jesus?
Now for the promise
Now for the church on fire
Now for the fullness
We want more than shallow lives
Now for your goodness
To fill the whole earth Jesus
Verse 3
There?s a joy that comes when we let go
When we lose ourselves we find your love
We want you and we want nothing more
Break the pride that hinders us Jesus
Pre Chorus
Let your church arise
In truth and grace
Bridge
Let your church arise and shine again
Shine again
Let your church arise and shine again
Shine again
