Battle Cry of the Redeemed (Arise O Lord)

Lyrics and Music by Ryan Habbena

We were captives, scourged by our own sin
And you freed us from the enemy within
The stripes of this slavery marks our souls
Wash us clean, heal our wounds, defeat our every foe

Arise O Lord
Defend Your Holy Name
Remember Your promise to the fathers of our faith
Secure our souls through the lifeblood of the Lamb
Arise O Lord

He is risen, He triumphed o’er the grave
Now He’s given a message to proclaim
In our weakness we stumble everyday
So we reach out, toYou, our God, we pray

Arise O Lord
Defend Your Holy Name
Sustain all Your soldiers who are fighting for Your fame
Ignite our hearts with the power to proclaim
Arise O Lord

The Serpent declares “War”
The martyrs cry “How Long”
We lift our eyes heavenward for our Warrior to come
So we, Your bride, beseech You with this song

Arise O Lord
Defend Your Holy Name
We long for the Lion to begin His righteous reign
Ignite the sky with the glory of Your Son
Arise O Lord
Ignite the sky with the glory of Your Son
Arise O Lord
