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
