Rise

[Intro]
In the garden he spoke to me
He said, "Rise up, I have a job for thee"
I heard and said, "Direct me, Lord"
He sent the wind to give a word
Take up thy cross to carry
Fear not and do not tarry
The pain will come and tears will fall
In the end it will be worth it all

[Verse 1]
Arise, arise take up the blade
Grab your shield of faith
Live to fight another day
Hours so long, they wear out my mind
Fight the darkness behind the illusion and lies

[Chorus]
Rise the time is now
You must find your way out
Trumpets blare over the sound of drums
A foretelling of what is to come
Life runs out like sand of time
The time is close, you must arise
Be asleep no longer, child
Oh, the wolves are growing wild

[Verse 2]
Arise, arise put on your shoes
You should have a clue
You should know what to do
Arise, arise are you so blind
You can't see the time
See the stars fall from the sky

[Outro]
In the garden, he spoke to me
He said "Rise up and see"
I arose and this is what I saw
Thieves climbed over the garden wall
