YOU MUST ARISE

VERSE
BROKEN AND BATTERED, SHE LAY HELPLESS ON THE FLOOR
HER WILL TO TRY, JUST WALKED OUT THE DOOR
BUT SHE COULD HEAR A STILL, SMALL VOICE
THAT SOUNDED LIKE HER FATHER
AND HE SAID THE WILL TO TRY IS WITHIN YOU
BUT YOU MUST, YOU MUST ARISE

CHORUS
YOU MUST ARISE
YES, YOU CAN DO IT
WITH GOD’S HELP, YOU CAN DO JUST ANYTHING
YOU CAN RUN AND NOT GET WEARY
YOU CAN WALK AND NOT FAINT
YOU CAN SOAR LIKE THE EAGLE TO THE SKY
BUT YOU MUST ARISE, ARISE, ARISE

VERSE TWO
AT TIMES YOUR SPIRIT’S BROKEN
DREAMS LAY SHATTERED ON THE FLOOR
SOMETIMES YOU FEEL
YOU DON’T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO TRY ANYMORE
BUT I CAN HEAR A STILL, SMALL VOICE
THAT SOUNDS JUST LIKE MY FATHER
SAYING, I PLACED THE WILL WITHIN YOU
BUT YOU MUST, YOU MUST ARISE

CHORUS
YOU MUST ARISE
YES, YOU CAN DO IT
WITH GOD’S HELP, YOU CAN DO JUST ANYTHING
YOU CAN RUN AND NOT GET WEARY
YOU CAN WALK AND NOT FAINT
YOU CAN SOAR LIKE THE EAGLE TO THE SKY

YOU CAN CLIMB ANY MOUNTAIN
YOU CAN CROSS ANY SEA
WITH GOD’S HELP YOU CAN DO JUST ANYTHING
^ YOU CAN TREAD OVER SERPENTS
YOU CAN CONQUER THE ENEMY
WITH GOD’S HELP YOU CAN DO JUST ANYTHING
BUT YOU MUST ARISE -- ARISE -- ARISE

YOU’VE GOT TO GET UP AND TRY AGAIN
EVEN WHEN YOU’RE FEELING THAT YOU’RE AT THE END
DON’T YOU GIVE UP
DON’T YOU GIVE IN
HE’LL BE YOUR STRENGTH, HE’LL CARRY YOU IN
EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL
ALL HOPE IS GONE
GOD’S GONNA OPEN ONE MORE DOOR
YOU MUST ARISE
YOU MUST ARISE
ARISE ARISE ARISE

GUARD MY HEART
FROM THE ARROWS OF THIS WORLD
GUARD MY MIND
FROM THOUGHTS THAT AREN’T MY OWN
INSTILL IN ME A LONGING JUST TO PLEASE YOU LORD
THESE THINGS I ASK
THESE THINGS I PRAY
IN THE SOLEMNESS OF THIS QUIET TIME WITH YOU

CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY WITH MERCY

VERSE
CAN YOU FORGIVE ME OR HAVE I GONE TOO FAR
I FEEL LIKE THIS REQUEST IS LIKE WISHING ON A STAR
DID I GO TOO FAR THIS TIME
OR DOES THIS SOUND LIKE JUST ANOTHER RHYME
OR CAN YOU…CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY WITH MERCY AGAIN

CHORUS
MERCY, EVERLASTING MERCY
OH GREAT GOD OF MERCY
CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY
CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY
CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY WITH MERCY AGAIN

VERSE TWO
I LOOK FOR MY DIRECTION
I KNOW I’VE LOST MY WAY
I SEARCH FOR SOME PROTECTION
BUT I CAN’T FIND MY PLACE
LORD, DID I GO TOO FAR THIS TIME
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE JUST ANOTHER LINE
OR CAN YOU…CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY WITH MERCY AGAIN

CHORUS
MERCY, EVERLASTING MERCY
OH GREAT GOD OF MERCY
CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY
CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY
CAN YOU PASS THIS WAY WITH MERCY AGAIN

BRIDGE
LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON
I HAVE WANDERED FAR
NOW ALL I WANNA DO IS RUN INTO MY FATHER’S ARMS
AND HEAR HIM SAY

CHORUS
MERCY, MY EVERLASTING MERCY
I’M YOUR GOD OF MERCY
AND I PASS YOUR WAY
EACH AND EVERY DAY
I PASS YOUR WAY WITH MERCY AGAIN

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHORUS
YOU LIFT ME UP, YOU MAKE ME SMILE
YOU LET ME KNOW I CAN WALK ANOTHER MILE
AND WHEN I’M WEAK, YOU MAKE ME STRONG
YOU ARE THE REASON, THE ONLY REASON
I CARRY ON

VERSE ONE
I MAY NOT KNOW WHAT YOU’VE DONE FOR ALL MY NEIGHBORS
I MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’VE DONE FOR ALL MY FRIENDS
ALL I CAN SAY IS HOW YOU DELIVERED ME
AND FREED ME FROM SIN
SO I’VE GOTTA TELL THE WORLD ALL ABOUT YOU
I’VE GOT TO TELL HOW YOU GAVE ME STRENGTH WHEN I’D LOST MY OWN
I’LL TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY REASON THAT I CAN CARRY ON

CHORUS
YOU LIFT ME UP, YOU MAKE ME SMILE
YOU LET ME KNOW I CAN WALK ANOTHER MILE
AND WHEN I’M WEAK, YOU MAKE ME STRONG
YOU ARE THE REASON, THE ONLY REASON
I CARRY ON

I CAN CARRY ON -- YOU'RE THE REASON
