Rise and shine

We lived our past in pleasure
Realizing never hidden treasures in our soul
That gene of God that is placed within
And at the time appointed we were anointed
To believe this present Word
The only evidence that His life is within
Now justified we are free from sin

CHORUS
We were born to rise and shine
For the Lord has come
We’ll rise and shine
We were made to overcome
We’ll rise and shine
Like the stars above

By holding the vision before every decision that’s how we overcome
The Lord is having then the pre-eminence
We’ll trust Him ever and doubt Him never
All the promises He has made
Realizing there is no need to be afraid
For His word can never fail

We’ll suffer affliction by this confession the scripture has foretold
We consider our trials more precious than gold
Leaving these worldly pleasures far behind for greater riches we must now claim
Never mind the reproaches you bear for His name for God’s children won’t be ashamed

Amidst this world’s frustration we have restoration
The earnest of the Promise Land only be thou courageous and strong
We have the hidden manna six barley measures
We’re awaiting that final one
Our Lord won’t rest till his work is done
We’ll have the fullness of the sun

We’re made superhuman
over every condition
by the power of His word
Holding our confession unto the end
And by His election we’ll change dimensions to a world that’s so sublime
No more to be mortal creatures of time
There forever we shall shine
