Chris Sligh – Arise Lyrics

[Lyrics for Chris Sligh – Arise]

Stars go down in the
western sky. Light fades
in as the darkness dies.
Sunlight, sweet sunlight
brings a day that You’ve
created. Perfect remedy
for all that tears at me.

Arise! Arise with the morning.
Arise! Your mercies are new.
Arise! Arise with the morning
that finds me running back to
You.

Darkness comes and
covers all my faults.

Tears fall down and sting
my wounds like salt.
Hopes fade ’til I’m caught
in the day that You’ve created.
Perfect remedy
for all that tears at me.

I’m anxiously waiting.
Redemtion is brimming
with stories created.
Each new day I know
You are coming.

I’m running back to you.
