O Church Arise (Arise Shine)

Arranged by Joseph M. Martin

Written in a timeless poetic style, the significant text covers the spiritual journey of the church with respect and lofty aspirations. The resolute hymn-like theme is tastefully harmonized, interspersed with unison and two- part writing for power and clarity. A new bridge recently added by the songwriters and artist Chris Tomlin proclaims a glorious call to the church to "Arise, shine for your light has come".
