Rise Up and Dance
by Terry Wildman
The hand of the Creator
is on the people of this land
Restoring hope and freedom
To help the warriors make their stand
The lies that have been spoken
To rob our pride and dignity
Were not the words of Jesus
He suffered shame
to set us free.
Rise up and dance our prayers
Let the warriors take their stand
Rise up and dance our prayers
For the healing of our land
Rise up and dance our prayers
To the pounding of a drum
To the rhythm of His love
Rise up and dance,
rise up and dance.
The Father’s heart is beating
Like the pounding of a drum
The rhythms of His mercy
the heartbeat of His love
We’ll take our stand together
in the circle of His life
We’ll love each other
we will walk in the light
Rise up and dance our prayers
Let the warriors take their stand
Rise up and dance our prayers
For the healing of our land
Rise up and dance our prayers
To the pounding of a drum
To the rhythm of His love
Rise up and dance,
rise up and dance.
Yah Yah Way HiYah
Yahweh Way HiYah HiYah HiYah,
Yah Yah Way HiYah
Yahweh Way HiYah HiYah HiYah HiYah HiYah,
Rise up and dance our prayers
Let the warriors take their stand
Rise up and dance our prayers
For the healing of our land
Rise up and dance our prayers
To the pounding of a drum
To the rhythm of His love
Rise up and dance,
rise up and dance.
Rise up and dance,
rise up and dance.
