[Verse 1] Billions have gone to sleep Under the dust and years From Adam’s wound to now We’ve carried grief and tears But I still hear the promise Calling through the night You gather every name, Lord And bring the dead to light [Pre-Chorus] A small flock to the heavens A faithful crown of gold And many on the earth Will live what You foretold The sealed and the steadfast The meek who held on tight You turn the ache of ages Into morning bright [Chorus] Righteous and unrighteous Rise in Your time Righteous and unrighteous Mercy will shine Come back, come back To the living God Righteous and unrighteous Rise in Your time [Verse 2] The ones who never knew You Still hear the door swing wide The broken and the hardened Can choose a better life Some practiced dark and ruin Some turned their face away But You still make a pathway For hearts that want to stay [Pre-Chorus] And all the earth is waiting For justice and for grace A thousand years of mercy A thousand years of space To learn Your name in truth To walk where love is light You gather every ashes And teach the world all right [Chorus] Righteous and unrighteous Rise in Your time Righteous and unrighteous Mercy will shine Come back, come back To the living God Righteous and unrighteous Rise in Your time [Bridge] And I will not forget The ones who fell asleep The children of the sorrow The lonely and the weak If there is breath in time Then let it bow to You You write a better ending For what Your hand will do [Final Chorus] Righteous and unrighteous Rise in Your time Righteous and unrighteous Mercy will shine Come back, come back To the living God Righteous and unrighteous Rise in Your time
