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
