Rise and Go

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From quiet homes to distant shores, We carry words of peace; Through open gates and village roads, We ask the fear to cease. With worn-out shoes and steady hearts, We meet each waiting face; The message travels hand to hand, A promise of true grace. [Pre-Chorus] When distant thunder shakes the ground, We do not turn away; A faithful heart can still be found At every break of day. [Chorus] Jehovah’s people, rise and go, Let every nation hear; Across the fields, through wind and snow, Our purpose remains clear. Though trials press and nights grow long, Our hope will not depart; The earth will hear a steadfast song From every faithful heart. [Verse 2] Some doors are closed, some roads are hard, Some words are sharp and cold; Yet kindness leaves a quiet mark That time cannot withhold. We learn to stand when mocked or blamed, To answer hate with care; For strength is more than being spared— It is continuing there. [Pre-Chorus] When tired hands have lost their strength, We lean on love anew; The smallest step, sustained by faith, Still carries us on through. [Chorus] Jehovah’s people, rise and go, Let every nation hear; Across the fields, through wind and snow, Our purpose remains clear. Though trials press and nights grow long, Our hope will not depart; The earth will hear a steadfast song From every faithful heart. [Bridge] No border can contain the call, No prison silence trust; When one small candle lights a wall, A thousand rise from dust. And if the road is steep and bare, We walk it side by side; With mercy guiding every prayer, And courage as our guide. [Final Chorus] Jehovah’s people, rise and go, Let every nation hear; Across the fields, through wind and snow, Our purpose remains clear. Though trials press and nights grow long, Our hope will not depart; The earth will hear a steadfast song From every faithful heart. [Outro] From every faithful heart, The message journeys on; Through every trial, hand in hand, Until the waiting dawn.
