Rise Up

Tell me the story of the girl without a mother

Of the girl without a father 

Who found favor with the King

Tell me again about how He beheld her beauty

About the way she stepped out bravely 

All her life an offering 

She fell to her knees while she begged Him “Please,

Spare my people. Oh, set them free, oh King!”

“Give them unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming

It’s the song they’ll keep on singin’, it's the bells they’ll keep on ringin’

Oh, I’m swept up in a story, oh, that I don’t want to miss

So, I will rise up for such a time as this”

Tell me the story of the God-man come from glory

While they said He had no beauty

He was the favor of the King 

Tell me again about the way He loved the lonely

Healed the sick and fed the hungry

All His life an offering 

He hung on a tree, He cried “Oh, Father, please,

Spare Your people. Oh, set them free!”

“Give them unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming

It’s the song they’ll keep on singin’, it's the bells they’ll keep on ringin’ 

They’ll be swept up in a story, oh, that they don’t want to miss

So, I will rise up for such a time as this!”

He is able, we have a place here at the table

Our deliverance has come, His steadfast love will bring us home 

He holds all things together and we already have His favor

We’ll give our surrendered “yes” because of all His faithfulness

Tell me a story about the way I'm loved completely

Because Your beauty is my covering, I have the favor of the King

Tell me again about how I can stand up boldly

I’ll repeat the things You’ve told me and make my life an offering

So, I fall to my knees, oh, I beg You “Father, please,

Set all Your people free. Help us live like we believe

We have unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming”

It’s the song we’ll keep on singin, it’s the bells we’ll keep on ringin’

We’ll be swept up in a story, oh, that we don’t want to miss

So, we will rise up for such a time as this. 

Oh, we’re swept up in a story, oh, that we don’t want to miss

So, we will rise up for such a time as this. 

May Your kingdom come, 

And Your will be done 

You have made us one

Like it is in heaven

Let Your kingdom come

And Your will be done 

You have made us one

Like it is in heaven

Long live the King!

The reason that we sing

Make our lives an offering

Make this earth like heaven 

Let Your kingdom come

Let Your will be done

You have made us one

Like it is in heaven

Let Your kingdom come

Let Your will be done

You have made us one

It’s a taste of heaven
