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
