Rise Up! And Revelation Three

As I ponder John Mark Skinner's stirring word last night around a giant campfire with close to 60 of my brothers under a clear sky and big harvest moon, I think of this song.
As I read Brian's last post from Rev 3, I think of this song.
This song has become our men's group theme song because it so works! Many feel it deeply in their spirits and recognize it in this season. Bro Bill has championed it for us.
Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.

Rise up, O men of God!
The kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.

Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great!

Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!

RISE UP! -=db=-
