Rise up O children of God
Make ready your hands for war
The King now stands before us
We join together as loyalists
To build his kingdom here on earth
And join in heaven’s chorus
Lead on O Lord unsheathing our swords
We arm ourselves with your truth
Burn in our hearts enflame our lives
The battle is now we’re here to fight
This age it seeks to destroy
Clouds my mind
Robs my heart of your joy
We pray to you for vision
Our ears are poised to listen
Lead us now unto war
We accept our mission
Lead on O Lord unsheathing our swords
We arm ourselves with your truth
Burn in our hearts enflame our lives
The battle is now we’re here to fight
Lead on O Lord unsheathing our swords
We arm ourselves with your truth
Burn in our hearts enflame our lives
The battle is now we’re here to fight
The battle is now we’re here
The battle is now we’re here to fight
