We've sat silent for too long While the darkness ever strong Cast a shadow on this land But we're the children of the light We have hope that's burning bright We weren't made to cower We were made to stand Let the church arise Let us stand for what is holy Let us stand for what is right And live our lives as a beacon in the night No, we will not compromise Let the church (let the church) Let the church (let the church) arise All the trouble in these times Doesn't catch God by surprise He's still sovereign over all (over all) So let the ones who bear his name Be bold and unashamed And with expectation as a winning cause Let the church arise Let us stand for what is holy Let us stand for what is right And live our lives as a beacon in the night No, we will not compromise Let the church (let the church) Let the church (let the church) arise These are days for the church to be Who Christ has made the church to be Let the church arise Let us stand for what is holy Let us stand for what is right And live our lives as a beacon in the night No, we will not compromise Let the church (let the church) Let the church (let the church) Let the church (let the church) Arise!
