The Lion roars

September 2008 - even more relevant today 2019

Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah stands over this nation
He roars over the land      
Strongholds tremble and fall

Arise church and take your place
Declare the goodness of God to an unbelieving generation
Declare His love, His mercy, His forgiveness

The lion shakes his mane and gold dust falls over the land
Each fleck of gold is a glint of glory
Every speck is a miracle, a healing, a sign.
Gold falls as snow on the nation
Glory covers the land.

Church arise, declare the goodness of God to an unbelieving generation
Declare victory over the enemy
Declare the Lordship of our King over this land.

The Lion breathes over this nation
His breath warms cold hearts and cold lives
Apathy turns to passion
Indifference becomes a fire; an intense love for Jesus
A zeal for His Kingdom
A passion for His name.

The Lion swishes his tail
Strongholds tremble, falter and fall
Cracks appear in major institutions
Those built on power and greed totter and fall.
Governments tremble
The people fear, their knees shake
Hearts melt, bile arises in their throats 
‘What will become of us?’ they ask.

Church arise, declare the goodness of God to an unbelieving generation
Speak peace to fearful hearts 
Show love to those who have no hope
Do not fear for Our God reigns 

Let God’s people arise
Let His enemies be scattered
Let mercy like a tidal flow sweep this land
Grace will wash away greed and selfishness and cleanse the land
Love like a never ending stream 
Will cause righteousness to blossom and flourish
Church, arise, declare the Lordship of the King over this land.
