Arise!
Arise! Let the mountains cry,
Hear the rivers sigh,
Cling to the gentling morn,
Wherever His glory invites
Wonder, hope – peace
Remember the graceful sighs,
Leaves dancing through the winds,
The stars, glistening on the hills.
Arise! Let the seas soothe the reef,
Listen to the silence breathe,
Peace echoes in the mountain’s gorges,
Harmonizing with a clear, calm love
Bleeding praise into the stones,
These very stones seem to quake, trembling,
Remaining in this faith that prays
Entreating the One who made a way….
To forever remain, always, eternally.
Arise! Let the glory fall over the hearts,
Those who believe, beyond
Doubts, beyond shadows –
Wherever He is – there is the grace,
Forever awaiting the chance to whisper
Gentling the spirit who hears
Joy in the blushing tears, the murmuring
Angel’s wings, rising over the darkness,
Succumbing to the most beautiful sound,
Music like no kiss can prepare.
Arise! Let the adoration unite,
With laughing colors in hues of eventide,
Expressions of hunger, in waves
Never failing to lose their joy, their light
Fulfilling the edge of tomorrow
With the glittery sigh of illuminating,
Forests in flames of autumn dreams –
Rising on the hopes that bleed
Into unending serenity, feelings of quiet,
Calm that awakens the still sweetness.
Arise! Let the splinters of stardust breathe,
Echoing hope that never doubts,
Joy that never fades out,
Wonderful that feeds the feelings,
Exalting the astonishing Creator,
The One who made us, blessed us,
Forgave us… the One who is light,
Never failing, never lacking,
Forever grace – everlasting hope!
Arise! Let the answers come alive,
On the verge of love’s quickening,
Inspiring the pearls, His gifts…
Love that will never end, beautiful,
Forever giving the spirit sensitivity,
The miracle of light beyond description,
Light that frees the sinner,
Light that abides deep within,
Light, like a presence,… it is HIM!
Arise! Let the trees remember no more,
The value of winds, dancing limbs…
Leaves who fade beneath the resounding
Wings, like a mystery, preventing….
Hearts from letting go of the feeling,
Love that captures and heals,
Love that is like a soul’s bleeding…
Its music, its tears, its breathless believing.
Arise! Let the day come to a close,
Feel the fleeting of an angry doubt,
One who knows…
Yesterday will wilt into a thought,
While tomorrow blends with dewlike
Moments, mornings coming to life,
Arising – arise, arise, arise…
Feel the music of laughing stars dwindling,
Lost with the night, as morning dawns…
Arise! Let this moment become…
The reason for the hope, the wonder,
All the peace and love – the joy
In knowing that His light, just like the SON,
Who rises to watch over a beautiful vision,
The brilliant reflection of a life who knows…
Morning brings a gift who shows…,
Hearts and souls… forever simply glows…
Through the ones who know Him, His light, His love…
The beautiful elation that comes…
To those who arise beneath this effortless love,
Love that comes from knowing Jesus, the light of the world!
