              Rise Up

Rise up My people,
sound the trumpet in your city,
let the people hear your shouts.

Take your rightful place in Me.
Take back all that has been stolen from You;
take authority over the enemy,
take back what is rightfully yours.

Take back your families,
take back your cities,
take back your nations.

Rise up in Me and shout,
I have placed My life in You.
Subdue the darkness before you,
let all see I am on the throne,
I am the living God.

Let the enemy hear your shouts;
he will tremble at your shouts of My praise.
Rise up in Me and take the land I have given you.

I have given you My power and My authority.
rise up, Rise up and shout,
I have appointed and anointed you.

Bring forth My life and subdue the darkness.
You have been given the power to overcome,
Rise up and shout to the living God!
