Verse:

We are the church the world is waiting for

we've got a love the world is desperate for

we will lead and take to your streets

chorus:

now's the time for us to rise

and carry hope and let love shine

and show this world that mercy is alive

now's the time for us to rise

and carry hope to hopeless eyes

and show this world that mercy is alive

verse 2:

we're not afraid. we will abandon all

to hear your name on lips across the world

we will run in the wake of your love

chorus

bridge:

fill our hearts with your compassion

let our love be active here
