When she crying, when she's hurting, When she's fallen and can't go on When she broken into pieces, In her mourning has lost her song Who will help the church? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? How long will we wait? How much will it take? Who will help the church? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? When she's crawling thru the ashes, And she's calling out for help And when she reaching from her kneeling, She needs strength now, beyond herself Who will help the church? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? For every brother who has need And every sister on her knees We'll show the mercy we've received in our lives And all the world will finally see The love that makes a family And He's alive in you and me. We will rise! Who will help the church? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? How long will we wait? How much will it take? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? We will rise up. We will rise up. We will respond.
