Exploding from the page with a clarion call to service, this epic song is something to be experienced. 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. A luxurious orchestration is also available bringing a cinematic scope to a song that has already become a modern-day sacred classic. Highly recommended!
