The walls are broken And the gates are burned with fire

I sat down weeping When I heard the word

The city of my fathers Lying in the

dust I fasted and I prayed before the Lord.

Oh, God of heaven, hear me now. Remember what you promised.

Do not turn away. I will go if you will shovel

away.

Rise up and build.

Rise up and build.

The hand of God is on us. Rise and build.

Through the mockery, through the sword, we will finish what the

Lord has called us to.

Rise up and build.

The king said go and God had gone before me.

I rode by night around the broken stone.

I call the people priests and all together. No

one built the holy work alone Oh God

of heaven, hear us now We take the trial in one

hand, the sword in the other We will build, we will

stand, we will not surrender Rise up and build

Rise up and build The hand of God is

on us Rise and build Through the mockery, through

the sword We will finish what the Lord has called us

to Rise up and build

Fifty

-two days and the walls stood complete Every enemy watching fell

silent in defeat Not by power, not by might But the

Spirit of the Lord brought it to the light Rise up

and build Rise up and build The hand of

God is on us Rise and build The joy of the

Lord The joy of the Lord.

He's a strength.

He's a strength. He's a strength. Rise up and build.
