[Verse 1] For the city's sake We’re standing We won’t keep quiet anymore In the rubble of the memories God is writing something more Ohh We believe it, mmmhh. Streets that lay forgotten Dust on every broken pew the church seems so empty The Gospel has faded out of view Ahh But I hear Your whisper calling “I will bring My children home”!! OHHH !! "I'll bring them Home!!!" [Chorus] We will rise and build again Oh This city !! will live again From the lowest place to glory now Every high place Leveled ground Our God You make us strong Even now you make all things NEW!! We have carried your promise this long We are ready!! To be the answer The Restorers We will stand! [Verse 2] You call the outcast “chosen” You call the empty “filled” You call the ruins “rooted” By Your promise we will go!!! Where the walls were torn and shattered Where the lonely walked alone You declare a name of favor You declare this place Your own So let your PRESENCE Rest down on us!! Even now!!! WE SAY!!! [Chorus] We will rise and build again Oh This city will live again From the lowest place to glory now Every high place Leveled ground Our God You make us strong We have carried fire this long We are the righteous of this land The builders of desolate lands [Bridge] I hear the Lord saying “Live Live Live” (ohh live again) Over dry bones Over broken hearts “I’m breathing life again” I hear the Lord saying “Live Live Live” (ohh live again) Over this city Over this ground “Lift up your eyes again” [Chorus] We will rise and build again Oh This city will live again From the lowest place to glory now Every high place Leveled ground Our God You make us strong We’ve been waiting Now it’s on We are the righteous of this land Restorers with You We stand [Outro] Ohh this city will live again Ohh live again Live We are the righteous Called by Your name The builders of desolate lands
