Now Is The Time album version: |
|
Spoken: |
|
You know people, now is the time |
|
Here we go |
|
Hey, hey |
|
The winds are blowing through again |
|
So we must follow |
|
A people daring to believe |
|
We can change tomorrow |
|
And be the miracle of light, |
|
And we won't give up the fight |
|
Now is the time for us to shine, |
|
Shine with the face of Christ divine. |
|
No compromise, for all heaven cries, |
|
Now is the time |
|
The river's running through again rejuvenating, |
|
For everything You touch You change, |
|
And we've all been changing. |
|
We're a city shining on a hill, |
|
Tell this world You're shining still, |
|
Tell this world You always will. |
|
Church, are you ready - spoken |
|
Now is the time for us to shine, |
|
Shine with the face of Christ divine. |
|
No compromise, for all heaven cries, |
|
Now is the time |
|
Jesus - spoken |
|
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, King of Lights |
|
Jesus, Jesus, raise a church that's shining bright |
|
I want to follow |
|
But what does it mean |
|
To live in this world |
|
And keep everything clean |
|
Nothing I own here |
|
Is ever my own |
|
When I live in the mercy |
|
And blessing You've shown |
|
I lay down my rights, |
|
See the world through Your eyes |
|
And fight for the hungry |
|
Who pay for our lives |
|
I want to have You |
|
In all of my world |
|
So Jesus consume me, |
|
Flow through me, |
|
Cos now is the time for us to shine. |
|
Shine with the face of Christ divine. |
|
Now is the time, cos now |
|
Now is the time for us to shine, |
|
Shine with the face of Christ divine. |
|
Now is the time for us to shine |
|
Each and every one to shine |
|
Spoken: |
|
Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did |
|
God removes the veil, and there they are, face to face |
|
They suddenly recognized that God is a living, personal presence |
|
Not a piece of chiseled stone |
|
When God is personally present, a living Spirit, |
|
That old constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete |
|
We're free of it |
|
All of us |
|
Nothing between us and God |
|
Our faces shining with the brightness of His face |
|
And so we are transfigured, much like the Messiah |
|
Our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful |
|
As God enters our lives |
|
And we become more like Him |
|
The time for us to shine, |
|
Shine with the face of Christ divine, yeah. |
|
'Cos Now is the time for us to shine, |
|
(You shine) Shine with the face of Christ divine. |
|
Now, now |
|
'Cos now is the time for us to shine, |
|
Shine with the face of Christ divine. |
|
Come on |
|
No compromise, for all heaven cries, |
|
Now is the time |
|
Whoa, now, now, now is the time, whoa, yeah |
|
Glory to God |
