O Church Arise Chords & Lyrics - Stuart Townend

[VERSE 1]

[A7sus]O church, [D]arise and put you[G/B]r armor [A]on;
Hear the [D]call of [G]Christ our [Asus]capta[D]in;
For [A7sus]now the [D]weak can say that [G/B]they are [A]strong
In the s[D]trength that [G]God has [Asus] giv[D]en.
With shield of [G]faith and [D]belt of [A]truth
We'll [D]stand ag[G]ainst the [D]dev[Bm]il's [A]lies;
An [A7sus]army [D]bold whose battle [G/B]cry is [A]"Love!"
Reaching [D]out to [G]those in [Asus]darkn[D]ess.

[VERSE 2]

[A7sus]Our call t[D]o war, to love th[G/B]e captiv[A]e soul,
But to ra[D]ge again[G]st the capt[Asus]or; [D]
And [A7sus]with the[D] sword that makes [G/B]the wound[A]ed whole
We will [D]fight with fa[G]ith and [Asus]valor[D] .
When faced with[G] trials on[D] ev'ry s[A]ide,
We kno[D]w the ou[G]tcome is s[D]ecu[Bm]re, [A]
And[A7sus] Chris[D]t will have the pr[G/B]ize for[A] which He died—
An inheri[D]tance o[G]f nations[Asus] . [D]

[VERSE 3]

[A7sus]Come, see [D]the cross where l[G/B]ove and [A]mercy meet,
As the So[D]n of God[G] is stricke[Asus]n; [D]
Then[A7sus] see His[D] foes lie crushed [G/B]beneath H[A]is feet,
For the [D]Conqueror has[G] risen! [Asus] [D]
And as the ston[G]e is rolle[D]d away, [A]
And Ch[D]rist eme[G]rges from [D]the[Bm] grav[A]e,
Thi[A7sus]s vict[D]'ry march continue[G/B]s till [A]the day
Ev'ry eye[D] and he[G]art shall[Asus] see [D]Him.

[VERSE 4]

[A7sus]So Spirit,[D] come, put streng[G/B]th in ev[A]'ry stride,
Give grac[D]e for ev[G]'ry hurdle,[Asus] [D]
That[A7sus] we may [D]run with faith to [G/B]win the p[A]rize
Of a ser[D]vant good and[G] faithfu[Asus]l. [D]
As saints of ol[G]d still li[D]ne the w[A]ay,
Retell[D]ing triu[G]mphs of Hi[D]s g[Bm]race,[A]
We [A7sus]hear t[D]heir calls and hun[G/B]ger for[A] the day
WHen with[D] Christ[G] we stand[Asus] in g[D]lory
