Hey ya know it's about time I post about one of my favorite songs from Chris Tomlin's new album (See The Morning) I just love this song so much and I am so happy Chris wrote a song like this...you will notice I named my blog Let God Arise!! So I just love this song...For me when I first heard this song it has an energy to it that just is so strong...I mean it's just one of those songs that brings the walls down and when I am singing Let God Arise it's just so powerful to me! When things are maybe not going so well in your life Let God Arise, Just let him arise in your life it's a beautiful picture to me every time I hear the song the same image comes into my head I wish I had a real picture to share with you what I see but I will just explain it the best I can---I just see me SMALL me bowing down on the ground and then the sun rising and a powerful blast of light just shines--GOD he arises he shines over me!! So that's just something I wanted to share...With my God all things are possible when we let Him arise in our lives we have strength...Read the words to this song- amazing!!
Picture the waters parting---


Hear the holy roar of God resound
Watch the waters part before us now
Come and see what He has done for us
Tell the world of His great love

Our God is a God who saves
Our God is a God who saves

Let God arise Let God arise
Our God reigns now and forever
He reigns now and forever

His enemies will run for sure
The church will stand, she will endure
He holds the KEYS of LIFE, our Lord
Death has no sting, no final word

I just love that!!!
Also I thought I would share what Jesse Reeves replied to me...on Frequency I directed the question to Chris- asking how he wrote this song, but instead Jesse answered the question so here it is...

(From Jesse Reeves)

well, i'm not chris.... but i know the story 'cause i was there. here's the short version. we were playing at a conference in Hawaii, and Jim Symbola (the pastor at the Brooklyn Tabernacle) was preaching. His point was basically that we as a church do not need any more programs, or new catchy things to entice people in, but rather that we need to call on God. We need to lift of His name. We need to ask of Him, and stop trying make things happen on our own. At the conclusion of his message, he made the simple statement, "Let God arise, and his enemies be scattered." Chris immediately said to me, "that needs to be a song." Of couse at that point, we just thought it was a cool phrase that Mr. Symbola had made up, but later discovered that it was straight scripture. Psalm 68:1 says it. Anyway, that began the wheels spinning.... and after marrying that with sections further down in the passage such as "our God is a God who saves," we ended up with the song.It's about letting God do the work that he wants to do to bring Himself glory.

Well hope you all have a wonderful day!

Let God Arise
