I Shall Arise
by LaMar Boschman

Album: Exaltation

Verse 1
I hear ten thousand Israelites
Crying, "Oh, my Lord, how long?"
We're slaves down here in Egypt land
And Pharaoh's hand grows strong.
Now the load of suffering and of bondage and of pain
Has driven them to call upon My Holy Name again.

Chorus 1
I shall arise (I shall arise)
With healing in my wings.
I shall arise (I shall arise)
And make the sad heart sing.
I shall arise (I shall arise)
And set the captive free.
I shall arise.

Verse 2
I hear the voice of this generation crying in the night,
For the day is spent and the night is calm,
And it's hard to find the light.
Satan slips his subtle bonds upon the minds of men.
The scoffers laugh, and the wisemen say that God is dead again.

Chorus 2
But I shall arise (I shall arise)
With healing in my wings.
I shall arise (I shall arise)
And make the sad heart sing.
I shall arise (I shall arise)
And set the captive free.
I shall arise.

Verse 3
I hear a million children crying from an early grave.
My Spirit shall not always strive,
Nor shall my wrath be stayed.
I hear a million angels saying, "Master, is it time?"
But I'm waiting for my Father's word to go and claim what's mine.
So lift your eyes in faith to me,
Oh, you who are my bride,
For I've heard your voice, and I've seen you,
And I will not be denied.

Chorus 3
I shall arise (arise, arise)
With healing in my wings.
I shall arise (arise)
And make the sad heart sing.
I shall arise (arise, arise)
And bring you liberty.
I shall arise (arise)
And set the captive free.
I shall arise (arise, arise)
With healing in my wings.
I shall arise (arise)
And make the sad heart sing.
I shall arise (arise, arise)
And bring you liberty.
I shall arise (arise)
And set the captive free.

Outro
I shall arise
(Healing in my wings, I shall arise).
I shall arise with healing in my wings.
(To set the captive free, I shall arise).
I shall arise and make the sad heart sing.
(I hear the voice that's crying, crying in the night, I shall arise).
I shall arise and bring you liberty.
I hear the voice that's crying in the night, I shall arise.
I shall arise and set the captive free.
