Now’s the time
To arise and shine
For to this we were called
To let our light shine before others
That we may reflect God as sisters and brothers

A city on a hill cannot be hidden
He lit us up
Ain’t no kidding
Now we’re living

You are His candle
His glory burns within you
That’s what the darkness can’t handle

But it’s not a sacrifice unless you pay the price
Only in the dark can we be shining lights

Living under the shadow of His smile
Light crashing into darkness That’s kingdom style

As we look to the Lord
Our lives will be radiant
We all come together
to form God’s glory gradient

There’s no time for stalling
It’s time to answer the calling
Be strong and courageous
His joy is contagious
His love is outrageous

Now’s the time
To let His love shine
To all of humankind
