Rise And Build

Lyrics

(Verse 1) A city broken, walls torn down, Nehemiah heard the sound, A cry from home, a distant land, He knelt in prayer, with trembling hands. He sought the Lord, with heart so wide, "God of heaven, be my guide, Give me strength to stand, restore, Rebuild these walls forevermore." (Chorus) Rise and build, don't be afraid, The Lord our God will make a way. With faith and courage, brick by brick, Hearts restored, the walls will stick. Rise and build, the call is clear, Our God is faithful, always near. --- (Verse 2) Before the king, he spoke with grace, A servant bold, in a foreign place. "Send me now to the land I love, Jerusalem, for God above." The king replied with open hands, A royal seal, the promised land, For every stone that had to fall, God's mighty hand would cover all. (Chorus) Rise and build, don't be afraid, The Lord our God will make a way. With faith and courage, brick by brick, Hearts restored, the walls will stick. Rise and build, the call is clear, Our God is faithful, always near. --- (Bridge) When the enemy mocks, when the arrows fly, We won't back down, we won't deny. Sword in hand, we’ll work and fight, The battle belongs to the Lord of Light! --- (Chorus) Rise and build, don't be afraid, The Lord our God will make a way. With faith and courage, brick by brick, Hearts restored, the walls will stick. Rise and build, the call is clear, Our God is faithful, always near. --- (Outro) So let your heart be strong today, Rebuild your life, renew your faith. Nehemiah’s song will still be sung, Until God's work in us is done.
