David Haas - Arise, Shine Out! lyrics
rate me1. Arise, shine out, your light has come!
Awaken your sad and weary eyes!
A song in the distance has begun,
The City of God born from the skies!
2. Arise, shine out, come and rejoice!
The music of life sings of the new day!
The dance of the spirit; freedom's voice
Is moving within to guide our way!
3. Arise, shine out, and dry your tears!
Our God has conquered gloom and fright!
For on this day new dawn appears;
Be born again! Walk in the light!
4. Arise, shine out, bring bread and wine!
Come gather around the table of dreams!
And share the story, let it shine,
For in this place God's kingdom sings!
5. Arise, shine out, tell all the land,
That hatred and violence now shall cease!
Together in hope, and hand in hand,
We'll live God's mercy, love and peace!
