[Verse 1]
We have heard with our ears, O Lord
Our fathers have told us
What You did before in days long ago
With Your mighty outstretched arm

[Verse 2]
Nations gone before bowed to Israel
The family You chose
Not by sword or arm came the victory
By Your faithfulness alone

[Pre-Chorus]
But now we have been rejected
The God of our fathers is no longer with our armies
We turn and run for our captors come
Disgrace is before me and my face is covered in shame
If we forgot the name of our Father
Would God not discover, for He knows the secrets of the heart?
Yet for Your sake we face death all day
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered

[Chorus]
Rise up and help us
Rise up and help us
Oh, rise up and help us
Rise up and help us
Rise up and help us
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
Rise up and help us
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
Oh, rise up and help us
(Our bodies are clinging to the dust of the ground)
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
Rise up and help us
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
Rise up and help us
(Our bodies are clinging to the dust of the ground)
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
(Why do You sleep?)
Rise up and help us
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
Rise up and help us
(Our bodies are clinging to the dust of the ground)
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
(Why do You sleep?)
Rise up and help us
(Redeem us because of Your unfailing love)
Rise up and help us
(Our bodies are clinging to the dust of the ground)
