Original Cast of His Story the Musical
Arise
[JESUS]
When I arise, keep your eyes up
When I arrive by His side you will rise up
Rise up now, your burden is light
Go tell the world the story
How you met the Life

I'm here now
And nothing's gonna change that
I gotta go
But I know you know the way back
To say that
The light is just around the corner
I am the Light
But guys, now it's your turn

Go preach the gospel to every nation
Go tell them that I knew ‘em
Even before the foundation of this world
Was laid, Yeah I knew your name
Now anyone who believes and repents will be saved

Because I, I know now
What I'm supposed to say
It’s because I was broken
You are gonna be ok
Don't be afraid ‘cause this is grace
And I want you to know
You were a wandering sheep
But it's time to come home now
And it's time to go home now
It's time to go home
But first

I put in your hands My mission
I put in your eyes My vision
Division will opposite
And you’re gonna watch lame legs walk again

I put in your soul My purpose
Because every last smile is worth it, you’ll see
If you’re willing to lay down yourself
We can set them free
So will you follow Me?

[MISS MAGDALENE]
Yeah!
Jesus we’ll follow to the end of this earth
Because Christ is our life now
And in Him is our worth

[PETER]
Head-first into a mission
Just like you envisioned
But check it out Jesus
It seems again I’ll be fishin’
I’ll be a fisher of men, wow!
Spreadin’ the good news
It’s time to cast your cares
On the One who cares for you
[MATTHEW]
‘Cause He cares for you
There's a place prepared, I swear
He’d be any place, anytime
Anywhere for you
Even die a sinner’s death
Sinless Suspect offers us His rest
But you only must confess
His blood covers the rest

[MISS MAGDALENE]
Wanted Outcast proves He's set apart
He looks past my past
And He looks at my heart
I get to start where He finished
Yes I get it, I'm a mess
But my sins are as far as
The east is from the west

[MATTHEW & MISS MAGDALENE]
From the west

[DISCIPLES]
He's rising, He's rising, He's rising, He rose
We're rising, we're rising, we're rising to go
To go let ‘em know what we know ‘cause we know
[MARY]
He's never gonna let go

You will arrive like a thief in the night time
Oh I still remember Your bright eyes
I still remember that first night

Yes I’m alright
I understand who You are now
You said goodbye
But You’re really not too far now
So for now You’re just one prayer away

And all at once
You'll arrive like the very first day

[DISCIPLES]
This is what we will sing
This is what we will sing
This is what we will sing
Because this is only the beginning
