Lyrics
Tell me the story of the girl without a mother
Of the girl without a father
Who found favor with the King
Tell me again about how He beheld her beauty
About the way she stepped out bravely
All her life an offering
She fell to her knees while she begged Him “Please,
Spare my people. Oh, set them free, oh King!”
“Give them unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming
It’s the song they’ll keep on singin’, it's the bells they’ll keep on ringin’
Oh, I’m swept up in a story, oh, that I don’t want to miss
So, I will rise up for such a time as this”
Tell me the story of the God-man come from glory
While they said He had no beauty
He was the favor of the King
Tell me again about the way He loved the lonely
Healed the sick and fed the hungry
All His life an offering
He hung on a tree, He cried “Oh, Father, please,
Spare Your people. Oh, set them free!”
“Give them unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming
It’s the song they’ll keep on singin’, it's the bells they’ll keep on ringin’
They’ll be swept up in a story, oh, that they don’t want to miss
So, I will rise up for such a time as this!”
He is able, we have a place here at the table
Our deliverance has come, His steadfast love will bring us home
He holds all things together and we already have His favor
We’ll give our surrendered “yes” because of all His faithfulness
Tell me a story about the way I'm loved completely
Because Your beauty is my covering, I have the favor of the King
Tell me again about how I can stand up boldly
I’ll repeat the things You’ve told me and make my life an offering
So, I fall to my knees, oh, I beg You “Father, please,
Set all Your people free. Help us live like we believe
We have unmerited belonging to a kingdom that is coming”
It’s the song we’ll keep on singin, it’s the bells we’ll keep on ringin’
We’ll be swept up in a story, oh, that we don’t want to miss
So, we will rise up for such a time as this.
Oh, we’re swept up in a story, oh, that we don’t want to miss
So, we will rise up for such a time as this.
May Your kingdom come,
And Your will be done
You have made us one
Like it is in heaven
Let Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
You have made us one
Like it is in heaven
Long live the King!
The reason that we sing
Make our lives an offering
Make this earth like heaven
Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
You have made us one
Like it is in heaven
Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
You have made us one
It’s a taste of heaven
