Arise

oh…
I will arise!
Despite my situation, oh… (Psalm 71: 20 & Phil 4: 12)
I will arise (Isaiah 35: 3−4)
Amidst great tribulation (Psalm 55: 2 & Psalm 31: 7)
I will arise
Stand up! (Isaiah 7: 9b & Psalm 40: 2)
Well I’ve been rejected before (Psalm 41: 9)
But not like this (Psalm 25: 16−17)
But never like this
I’ve been used and abused for so long (Psalm 25: 16)
Been down for so long (Psalm 73: 21)
It’s time to resist, yeah
Well it’s time for me to make a change (Psalm 86: 7)
And start to give, I’ll give You the praise (Malachi 4: 2 & Eph 1: 3)
Gonna worship You in all of my days (Psalm 95: 6)
And then my spirit shall raise (Isaiah 40: 31)
I’ll Arise!
Beauty instead of ashes (Isaiah 61: 3)
And Joy instead of my pain (Psalm 126: 6)
He’s come to bind up the broken hearted (Psalm 147: 3 & Isaiah 61: 1)
And this affliction is never in vain (Psalm 119: 67, Isaiah 48: 10 & Psalm 119:
Beauty up from the ashes
And hope, hope from my despair (Isaiah 40: 31)
Weeping may endure for the evening
But in the morning joy will be there! (Psalm 30: 5)
Arise, arise, arise!
Ooh you’ve got to stand up and rise!
