Chords for 'Arise" William MCdowell lyrics

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Look around, _ tell me what you see.
_ Nearly a [Ebm] billion people entered the 21st century
unable [Fm] to read a book or [Db] sign their names.
[Ebm] Illiterate and [Eb] unable to read, not even the
Bible.
_ _ [Ab] _ Look around, _ tell me what you [Eb] see.
_ [Ebm] Earthquakes, natural and man-made disasters,
_ [Db] political unrest, famine, war, poverty and [B] disease all around us.
The truth of God being
trampled and [Db] Jesus being scorned by a world in desperate need to [B] encounter him.
Tell me,
what do you see?
_ Jesus said, [Db] you are the salt of the earth, but what good is salt [B] if it
has lost its flavor?
Can you make it salty again?
[Db] It will be thrown out and trampled
underfoot as worthless. _
You are the light of the world, like a city on a [Eb] hilltop that
cannot be hidden.
And Jesus Christ, the [Db] only answer for the world, lives in you and moves
through [Eb] his body, the church.
Yet the world says [Db] that the church is losing its influence.
This [Eb] cannot be.
Not on our watch.
May the eyes of this [Cm]
generation be opened.
_ One sick
of the [G] world's population is hungry.
Half of the world's population [Cm]
lives on less than
two dollars a day.
[G] Half of all the children in the world live in poverty.
More [Eb] children
die from drinking bad water than HIV, [F] AIDS and malaria combined.
And water [Ab] is the most
abundant resource on the planet.
_ [Bb] Look around, what do you see?
Church, our church, our church
and how will [Eb] we respond? _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Arise, [Bb] _
_ _ [B] arise, _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ arise, [Bb] your [Eb] light [Ab] has [Db] come.
And the [Eb] glory [Fm] of the Lord _ is [Ab] upon you.
[Db] _
You were [Eb] created for [F] this _ time.
_ _ _ [Bb] Soar up, _ the spirit [Eb] says arise.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ Arise, _ _ _ [Ab] message of _ destiny.
_ [Eb] In God's _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ authority.
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [F] Decree declared.
[Cm] Let's speak [Bb] in _ [Eb] Jesus' [Db]
name.
In every _ [Eb] _ [Fm] principality.
_ _ What power.
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _
You were [Eb] created for.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Soar up, _ the spirit says [Ebm]
arise.
_ _ _ [Db] [Gb] The church we see [B] is not on the periphery of the world.
[Abm] But the world on the periphery
of the church, meaning that when God looks at the earth, when he looks in [D] a city, he
does [C] not see a city with a [F] church [Bb] in it.
He [Ebm] sees the church with the city around it.
The
[Db] church is the [Gb] vehicle by which [B] Jesus speaks, acts and moves.
Everything [Abm] God wants to do
in the earth, he [Ebm] wants to do through his [Abm] church.
Now that you hear him calling [F] and awakening,
[Eb] what will be [D] your response?
[Bb] _ [Eb] Will you sit there [D] or will you [Eb] arise?
[Abm] Will you stay asleep
or will you [B] take a stand?
[Abm] I believe that when the [B] Lord speaks, [Gb] he went towards [B] people to
release [Gb] a sound and respond.
[Fm]
This is [Eb] our response.
[D] He [Bb] will _ [Ebm]
arise _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ for [Db] we are [Abm]
not [Db] ashamed [Abm] to _ proclaim [F] _
_ [Eb] your [D] name.
Somebody [Bb] say [Ebm] Jesus.
_ _ [Db] Jesus.
The only hope [Gb] of nature. _
[B] Jesus.
The God [Bbm] of creation.
[Abm]
Jesus.
_ I need you to lift up your voice.
[Gb] Our [Fm] Lord is waiting [Eb] to hear from [D] you.
He [Bb] will [Ebm] arise. _
This is our [Bbm] response.
[Gb] He will arise.
[B] Your church will arise.
He will _ [Bbm] arise.
[Abm]
We know the same.
We know the [Gb] same.
[Fm] Oh God.
[Eb] _ [D] We won't be [Bb] silent [Ebm] anymore. _
_ But [Db] we will lift up [Gb] our voice and [B] we _ _ [Gb] will shout it out.
[Db] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ Somebody [Gb] say the [F] name.
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] I need you to lift up [Ab] your voice.
[Gb] _ _ [B] _
_ Jesus.
[Ebm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ We are [B] equal.
_ [F] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ Jesus.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] [Abm] Jesus. _
_ _ _ _ We _ [Fm] _
[Eb] will _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _ [Ebm] arise.
Let _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ a sound be lifted up.
[Ebm] Let a sound be lifted up.
So the whole world knows that God in Christ is here.
The kingdom is being revealed.
And Jesus is being exalted. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ There is a sound in the hearts of God's people.
We will not be comforted into silence any longer.
But we will lift up our voice wherever we go and proclaim Jesus Christ [Eb] is Lord. _ _ _
