Arise Lyrics

Sally Klein O'connor Arise

Plant me like a tree
To showcase Your splendor
Let my eyes look out and see
You restore the land

Make me a trumpet
Sounding Your Name
That all who wandered far away
Will come back and say

Arise
Shine
For Your light has come
The glory of the Holy One/Risen Son

Where there was ruin now there's rebuilding
Love is a seed that never fails
Where there was night now there's a morning
Hope comes alive when Love prevails

No more will we trim our lamps with sorrow
Joy will be the banner we display
Every sadness every tear
All the doubt all the fear
Will melt away as dawn announces the day

All those who walked alone in darkness
Suddenly see a wondrous sight
All those who lived in shame and shadow
Lift up their heads and see Your light

You will turn our mourning to dancing
We will be a people of praise
The sun will never set
The moon will not fade
And God will be our dwelling
To the end of days
