I WILL ARISE BY: NAANA
Verse
I will arise
LORD, I will arise
I will arise today
LORD, I will arise
LORD, I will arise
In the days of Nehemiah
He was a prophet
He was a prophet of old
When he heard
Of the broken walls of Jerusalem
Bible says, he fasted
And he prayed to the God of heaven
He fasted and he prayed
He travailed to the God
To the God of heaven
Then it please the king
That the walls of Jerusalem
Should be built to the glory of our LORD
Then it please the king, yeah
That the walls of Jerusalem
Should be built to the glory of our LORD
Then came Sambalath
Then came Tobiah
Who just hated the work of the LORD
But brethren, my prayer is
None of us here present
Will be Sambalaths in the house of the LORD
But Nehemiah stood up
Nehemiah stood up, yeah
In the power
In the anointing of the Holy Ghost
Nehemiah stood up
Nehemiah stood up, yeah
In the power
In the anointing of the Holy Ghost
Saying
The God of heaven
He will prosper you and I
So arise, arise, arise and let us build
The God of heaven
He will prosper you and I
So arise, arise, arise and let us build

With oneness of mind, yeah
And oneness of heart, yeah
Let us arise in mind and do the work
