O Church Arise!!!


 Today has been an interesting day. But the best part about it was I got some new music by these "modern day hymn writers"!!! I am totally addicted to this one song, "O Church Arise" and every time I listen to that one I get so excited that I am on the Lord's side and we are called to fight for the Gospel and Jesus equips us with the armor to do His work! Just read the lyrics and if you can look them up on youtube to hear the melody. As you read these lyrics, I pray that you too will get such an urgency to preach the Gospel and "fight the good fight, run the good race" all knowing that Jesus is the ultimate Victor and We know that He chose us to fight this battle against all evil in this world!


Blessings Friends!
Christa :)


Keith and Kristyn Getty: "O Church, Arise"



O church, arise and put your armor on;
Hear the call of Christ our captain;
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is “Love!”
Reaching out to those in darkness.
Our call to war, to love the captive soul,
But to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on ev’ry side,
We know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have the prize for which He died—
An inheritance of nations.
Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken;
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away,
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict’ry march continues till the day
Ev’ry eye and heart shall see Him.
So Spirit, come, put strength in ev’ry stride,
Give grace for ev’ry hurdle,
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When, with Christ, we stand in glory.
