Now Is the Time Lyrics

The winds are blowing through again
So we must follow a people daring to believe
We can change tomorrow and be the miracle of light
And we won't give up the fightNow is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
No compromise, for all heaven cries
Now is the timeThe river's running through again rejuvenating
For everything you touch you change and we've all been changing
We're a city shining on a hill, tell this world you're shining still
Tell this world you always willNow is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
No compromise, for all heaven cries
Now is the timeJesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, King of lights
Jesus, Jesus, raise a church that's shining brightI want to follow but what does it mean
To live in this world and keep everything clean
Nothing I own here is ever my own
When I live in the mercy and blessing you've shownI lay down my rights, see the world through your eyes
And fight for the hungry who pay for our lives

I want to have you in all of my world
So Jesus consume me, flow through me
'Cause now is the time for us to shineNow is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
No compromise, for all heaven cries
Now is the time
