[Verse 1]
When she crying, when she's hurting
When she's fallen and can't go on
When she's broken into pieces
In her mourning has lost her song

[Chorus 1]
Who will help the church
The one that Christ loves?
Who will rise up? Who will rise up?
How long will we wait?
How much will it take?
Who will rise up? Who will rise up?

[Verse 2]
When she's crawling through the ashes
And she's calling out for help
And when she's reaching from her kneeling
She needs strength now, beyond herself

[Chorus 1]
So who will help the church
The one that Christ loves?
Who will rise up? Who will rise up?
How long will we wait?
And how much will it take?
Who will rise up? Who will rise up?
[Bridge]
For every brother who has need
And every sister on her knees
We'll show the mercy we've received in our lives
And all the world will finally see
The love that makes a family
If He's alive in you and me
We will rise!

[Chorus 2]
So who will help the church
The one that Christ loves?
Who will rise up? Who will rise up?
How long will we wait?
And how much will it take?
Who will rise up? Who will rise up?
We will rise up, we will rise up
And we will respond
We will rise
We will rise up, we will rise up
