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.
Refrain:
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 together for vision.
Our ears are poised to listen.
Lead us now unto war
We accept our mission.
Refrain:
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.
Verse 1
Let us rise with our eyes now fixed on Jesus.
May we come to know his precious love victorious.
Let us stand with the shield of faith around us,
Let us raise one voice to glorify our maker.
So we move forward, with our eyes fixed on him
who ransomed the lowly man from sin.
Refrain
The clarion calls we will press on towards the one (Last time: As for me I will press on...)
who calls us onwards now into battle.
With joy we rise and we will answer our King's call
As we cry "Holy worthy mighty is our Lord."
Verse 2
Marching on our God will go before us.
May we follow in the footsteps of our saviour.
In his great love he died upon a cross.
Let us press on without counting the cost.
So we move forward, with our eyes fixed above
On him who ransomed us in love.

There to gaze upon Your face.
Through the veil
We see You robed in glory
Before Your throne to take our place.
And with our voices
We now praise Your name:
You are our King and no other!
We cry to You, "Establish your reign!"
We shout, "Your Kingdom come!"
Hallelujah, our King! Glory to God!
We call on Your name.
Give us strength for the fight.
Build us up by Your power.
Make us one in Your name.
Your Kingdom come!
Lord, we give to You
The glory and honor You are due
With hearts and hands upraised.
No worldly riches compare
With the joy of seeing You face to face.
Lord, You are more precious than silver.
Lord, You are more costly than gold.
Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds,
And nothing I desire compares with You.
