RISE AND SHINE
We lived our past in pleasure, realizing never
Hidden treasure in our souls,
That gene of God that’s placed within;
But at the time appointed we were anointed
To believe this present Word,
The only evidence that His life is within,
Justified we are free from sin.
CHORUS
For we were born to rise and shine
For the Lord is come;
We’ll rise and shine,
We’re made to overcome;
We’ll rise and shine
Like the stars above.
We’ll suffer affliction by this confession,
The Scripture has foretold,
But we’ll consider our trials more precious than gold;
Leaving (this) worldly pleasures far behind
For greater riches we must now claim,
Never mind the reproaches you bear for His Name,
God’s children won’t be ashamed.
By holding the vision before every decision
That’s how we overcome,
The Lord is having then the pre-eminence;
We’ll trust Him ever and doubt Him never
For the promises He has made,
Realizing there’s no need to be afraid,
For His Word can never fail.
Amidst this world’s frustration we have restoration,
The earnest of the promised land,
Only be thou courageous and strong;
We have the hidden manna, six barley measure,
We are waiting for that final one,
Our Lord won’t rest till His work is done,
We’ll have the fullness of the Son.
We’re made superhuman over every condition
By the power of God’s Word,
Holding our confession unto the end;
And by His election we’ll change dimension
To a world that’s so sublime,
No more to be mortal creatures of time,
There forever we will shine.
