Arise oh church
For it is time
Time to stop living mediocre faith
Arise oh church
And hear
Hear His voice
Arise oh church
He is calling out to you
He wants you to want more
Arise oh church
And see
See that we are merely flesh living in a spiritual world
See the angles fighting demons
See them protecting you
Arise oh church
We are called to see
We are called to believe
We are called to join
Oh non-believing believers
There is so much more to life than this
If only we could stop living by the flesh
It’s your choice
May we become a people that call out sin
Instead of covering it
Trying not to offend
May we be atmosphere changers
Not luke warm believers
May we as a church body be people who are not condeming
Because we all fall short of the glory of God
We are all slipping
May we be people that welcome everyone so all may hear the gospel
May we be people who seek everyday to be a part of His will
May we be people who understand His will is to make disciples
May we not be okay with just living good lives to maybe show Jesus’ love
But may we be people who proclaim with our mouths every day of Jesus above
You must choose
You must die fully to yourself
It’s more than a checklist
It’s more than praying
It’s more than reading the word
And oh my people it’s so much more than just going to church
It’s having a relationship
It’s investing time
It’s being hungry for Him
It’s BOASTING in weakness
Oh the freedom
Oh the joy
Oh the day when we realize there is more
To dance along His shores
Because it’s you He adores
It’s up to you to choose
You can continue to sit Sunday after Sunday in church thinking it’s enough
But surely you will loose
