Rise, You Sons of King David

[Intro — Low Male Baritone, Hammond Organ, Slow Sabbath Riff] What are you searching for? What are you desiring? You want the treasures of darkness? You want the day of the LORD? TO WHAT END IS IT FOR YOU? [Verse 1 — Heavy Blues Guitar Builds] They dug into the darkness, Searching every hidden stone. They measured all creation, But wisdom wasn't their own. They chased the gold and silver, The secrets of the earth, But couldn't buy redemption, Couldn't calculate its worth. The glory of God conceals a thing, The honour of kings searches still. But all the treasures of wisdom Are hidden in Christ — revealed! [Pre-Chorus — Drums Enter] His divine power hath given All things pertaining unto life! Exceeding precious promises, Not purchased at a price! [Chorus — Full Band, Male Lead and Gospel Choir] RISE, YOU SONS OF KING DAVID! THE LION HATH PREVAILED! ALL THE TREASURES OF WISDOM ARE IN CHRIST, NOT FOR SALE! WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR? WHAT ARE YOU DESIRING? THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING— AND THE DARKNESS IS ON FIRE! RISE, YOU SONS OF KING DAVID! LET THE BRANCH BEAR FRUIT! HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO LIFE! [Verse 2 — Driving Deep Purple Groove] Delight thyself in the LORD, He knows the heart's desire. But they that will be rich Walk straight into the fire. Foolish lusts and snares await, Their riches cannot save. What profits gaining all the world To carry to the grave? The secrets of the heart come forth, The hidden things made known. And every knee shall bow before The King upon His throne! [Pre-Chorus — Hard Stops] Without money! Without price! The water of life is FREE! What are you trying to purchase That God hath given freely? [Chorus — Full Band] RISE, YOU SONS OF KING DAVID! THE LION HATH PREVAILED! ALL THE TREASURES OF WISDOM ARE IN CHRIST, NOT FOR SALE! WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR? WHAT ARE YOU DESIRING? THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING— AND THE DARKNESS IS ON FIRE! RISE, YOU SONS OF KING DAVID! LET THE BRANCH BEAR FRUIT! HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO LIFE! [Bridge — Slow, Ominous Hammond Organ] Woe unto you that desire The day of the LORD! To what end is it for you? Darkness — not light! But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, That that day should come as a thief! Children of light, children of day, Not appointed unto wrath— SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST! [Instrumental — Wah Guitar and Hammond Organ Trade Solos] [Verse 3 — Rising, Triumphant] Blessed be the fruit of the body, Blessed be the fruit of the ground! The LORD made a promise to David, And the promised King wears the crown! A rod from the stem of Jesse, A Branch from the roots shall grow. The Spirit of the LORD upon Him, And His wisdom the earth shall know! Wisdom and understanding! Counsel, knowledge, might! The fear of the LORD upon Him— THE ROOT AND OFFSPRING OF DAVID! THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR! [Breakdown — Bass and Kick, Choir Answers] [Male] Who is the Vine? [Choir] JESUS CHRIST! [Male] Who are the branches? [Choir] THOSE ABIDING IN HIM! [Male] Who brings forth the fruit? [Choir] THE SPIRIT OF GOD! [Male] Love! Joy! Peace! Longsuffering and faith! Gentleness, goodness, Meekness, temperance! [Choir] THE LION HATH PREVAILED! [Final Chorus — Full Band, Triumphant] RISE, YOU SONS OF KING DAVID! THE LION HATH PREVAILED! ALL THE TREASURES OF WISDOM ARE IN CHRIST, NOT FOR SALE! WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR? WHAT ARE YOU DESIRING? THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING— AND THE DARKNESS IS ON FIRE! RISE, YOU SONS OF KING DAVID! LET THE BRANCH BEAR FRUIT! HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO LIFE! [Outro — Band Drops, Deep Male Baritone] All things are yours. And ye are Christ's. And Christ is God's. The Root. The Branch. The Fruit. The King. [Final Sustained Chord — Full Choir] JESUS IS THE LORD
