Raise These Arms Lyrics

In the ease of unconcern

I rested lazily

To the sound of the careless songs

Well, it almost got the best of me

Then I heard the prophet's anger

Echo from the centuries

'Till I couldn't fight the truth

I could only answer



CHORUS:



I will raise these arms

With the reapers of the harvest

With the servants of the Lord

I will raise these arms

In the field and in the vineyard

I will labor

I will raise these arms



Say to those who sleep in Zion

Now the time has come to rise

Can you hear the voice of Jesus

See the fire in His eyes?

Who will go and help the hopeless

Who will go and help the weak?

Lead the lost sheep to the shepherd

Who will answer?



REPEAT CHORUS



BRIDGE

We have wrestled with the angel

We've wandered in the night

And we've lost our way in pointless games

Now it's time to stop pretending

Time we get up on our feet and say

Hey, Hey



REPEAT CHORUS
