(Spirited Hymn of Hope, dedicated to all those that suffered the wrath of Hurricane Katrina)
Arise
“Arise, Arise, All is not lost. Now is the time to rebuild.
Arise, Arise, gather together. Look to the Lord to be filled.”
“Stand up! Stand up the sun is still shining. God has brought us a new day!
Stand up! Stand up, giving thanks to the Lord. He is the Potter, we are the clay.”
“Let us pray and look up to the Lord. Stand firm on His blessed foundation!
Let us pray and unite as one people, in this time of sorrow and devastation.”
“Hold the hand of our brother and sister as we walk across the stormy land.
Hold the hand of a neighbor in need, helping each other to rise and stand.”
“In our soul, in our soul there is pure hope, faith, courage and light.
In our soul, in our soul our Lord has prepared us not to lose sight.”
“Be strong, oh be strong! Every day brings us a new song.
Be strong. Yes, be strong. The Lord will guide us all the day long.”
“Arise, Arise, All is not lost. Now is the time to rebuild.
Arise, Arise, gather together. Look to the Lord to be filled.”
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
