Rise Up
[Verse 1]
Tell me the story of the girl without a mother
Of the girl without a father who found favor with the King
Tell me again about how He beheld her beauty
About the way she stepped out bravely, all her life an offering

[Pre-Chorus]
She fell to her knees, while she begged Him "Please
Spare my people, oh, set them free, oh King!"

[Chorus]
"Give them unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming
It's thе song they’ll keep on singin', it's the bells thеy’ll keep on ringin'
Oh, I'm swept up in a story, oh, that I don't want to miss
So, I will rise up for such a time as this"

[Verse 2]
Tell me the story of the God-man come from glory
While they said He had no beauty, He was the favor of the King
Tell me again about the way He loved the lonely
Healed the sick and fed the hungry, all His life an offering

[Pre-Chorus]
He hung on a tree, He cried "Oh, Father, please
Spare Your people, oh, set them free!"
[Chorus]
"Give them unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming
It's the song they'll keep on singin', it's the bells they’ll keep on ringin’
They'll be swept up in a story, oh, that they don’t want to miss
So, I will rise up for such a time as this!"

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, He is able, we have a place here at the table
Our deliverance has come, His steadfast love will bring us home
And He holds all things together and we already have His favor
And we'll give our surrendered "Yes" because of all His faithfulness

[Verse 3]
Tell me a story about the way I'm loved completely
Because Your beauty is my covering, I have the favor of the King
Tell me again about how I can stand up boldly
I'll repeat the things You’ve told me and make my life an offering

[Pre-Chorus]
So, I fall to my knees, oh, I beg You "Father, please
Set all Your people free, help us live like we believe"

[Chorus]
We have unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming
It's the song we'll keep on singin, it's the bells we'll keep on ringin'
We'll be swept up in a story, oh, that we don't want to miss
So, we will rise up for such a time as this
Oh, we're swept up in a story, oh, that we don't want to miss
So, we will rise up for such a time as this
