arise
Arise
Arise, my love
This is your time to shine
The light has come on you this time
The glory that I see in you
Speaks of all you are and yet will be
Awake, alive throughout eternity
Arise and shine, this is the time
To banish every tear and sigh
Remember who you are, do not lose heart
When enemies come like a flood
To steal and war against your soul
For you are precious to the Lord
His Spirit still is in control
And though it cost my life and blood
To show my love, I too
Will stand and fight for you
Your glory shines despite the tears that fall
And you reflect the one who gave it all
The one who made you beautiful
Who even now is rising over you
I think about your eyes
The windows of your soul
Oh, how I want to make them glow
Like a child, a little shy
But unable to contain delight
I pray for light to dawn on you
That you may know that I am true
And you are my most precious prize
So come to me, my love, arise
(Arise, shine; For your
light has come! And the glory of the LORD
is risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1)
