Intro:
Verse 1:
When she s crying,
When she s hurting,
When she s fallen and can t go on,
When she s broken into pieces,
In her mourning, has lost her song...
Chorus:
Who will help the church?
The one that Christ loves?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
How long will we wait?
How much will it take?
Who will rise up?
G - 1 strum
Who will rise up?
Verse 2:
When she s crawling
Through the ashes,
And she s callin
Out for help,
When she s reaching
From her kneeling,
She needs strength now
Beyond herself...
Chorus:
Who will help the church?
The one that Christ loves?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
How long will we wait?
How much will it take?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
Bridge:
For every brother who has need,
For every sister on her knees,
We ll show the mercy we ve received in our lives.
And all the world will finally see
The love that makes a family,
If he s alive in you and me,
We will rise...
Chorus
Who will help the church?
The one that Christ loves?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
How long will we wait?
How much will it take?
Who will rise up?
Who will rise up?
End-Chorus
We will rise up,
We will rise up,
We will rise up,
We will respond.
We will rise,
We will rise up,
We will rise up.
