Rise and Build
Nehemiah
Glory ain't only where the armies roar Sometimes it starts at a broken door
One man rides where the ashes lie With a fire in his soul and the walls in his eyes
No trumpet called, no banners flew
Just moonlight falling on the stones he knew
The gates were burned, the city torn
But God had planted rebuilding in the morn
He saw the ruin, he felt the shame
But he would not leave it buried in flame
Glory ain't only where the armies rock
Sometimes it starts at a broken door
One man rides where the ashes lie
With the fire in his soul and the walls in his eyes
Come, let us rise
Let the weak hands build
Let the night bear witness
To the Lord's own will
The stones were broken, the people were few
But the God of heaven would carry them through
We'll be right back.
