Oh Men of God, Arise

Oh men of God arise,

awake from slumber's night,

shake off sin's drowsiness

and rouse yourself to fight.

Run from vain this distraction,

keep your vision clear;

cast out all fleshly stowaways,

refuse to harbor fear.

Oh men of God arise,

take up your sword and shield.

Your foe has no defense

against the power they wield.

Christ has gained the victory

the outcome is assured,

Satan is defeated

by the power of God's word.

Oh men of God arise

and face the eastern skies,

for Christ will soon descend

with lightning in his eyes.

Then our ancient foe long vanquished

will meet his rightful end,

and sin's dark night of terror

will never fall again.

Lift up the cup of holiness,

drink long and take your fill.

Oh men of God arise

to carry out, to carry out God's will.

Oh men of God arise

to carry out, to carry out God's will.

Steve Green - From the album, "The Letter"
