Arise, My Soul, Arise (Live) Lyrics

Arise, my soul, arise, shake off thy guilty fears

The bleeding Sacrifice in my behalf appears

Before the throne my Surety stands

Before the throne my Surety stands

My name is written, written on His hands

He ever lives above for me to intercede

His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead

His blood atoned for all our race

His blood atoned for all our race

And sprinkles now the throne, the throne of grace

Arise and live, arise and live!

Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary

They pour effectual prayers, they strongly plead for me

"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry

"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry

"Nor let that ransomed sinner die!"

"Forgive him, O forgive, forgive him, O forgive

I forgive him, now my ransomed child shall live!"

Arise and live, arise and live!

Arise, arise, arise, arise!

The Father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One

He cannot turn away the presence of His Son

The Spirit answers to the blood

The Spirit answers to the blood

And tells me I am born, am born of God

My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear

He owns me for a child, I can no longer fear

With confidence I now draw nigh

With confidence I now draw nigh

And "Father, Abba, Abba, Father" cry

Arise and live, arise and live

I rise, alive, I rise, alive!

Arise! My ransomed soul is now alive!
