Michael Davis Assistant Pastor, Young Adults W Arise, My Soul, Arise Charles Wesley, Kevin Twit Arise, my soul, arise, shake f your guilty fears; The bleeding sacrifice, on my behalf appears; Before throne my Surety stands, Before throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. Chorus Arise, arise, arise. Arise, my soul, arise. Arise, arise, arise. Arise, my soul, arise. Shake f your guilty fears and rise. He ever lives above, for me to intercede; His all redeeming love, His precious blood, to plead; His blood atoned for every race, His blood atoned for every race, And sprinkles now throne grace. Chorus Five bleeding wounds He bears; received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers; y strongly plead for me: Forgive him, O forgive, y cry, Forgive him, O forgive, y cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die! Chorus My God is reconciled; His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear With confidence I now draw nigh, With confidence I now draw nigh, And Far, Abba, Far, cry. Chorus WPRAYER OF ADORATION
