There is a groaning and a hunger For the torchbearers to rise You are the light of the world Don't you know who you are? You're a city set on a Hill God is counting on you The world is waiting for you Can't you hear creation groan In earnest anticipation Are you not a child of God? Rise Up you children of the light It's time to shine Your God is risen upon you You don't have to be afraid It's time to shine Arise arise for your light has come, and God's glory is risen upon you
