Born of God, Arise

This song was a part of the Morning Office at Mission St. Clare today. The words are pretty simple. The song reminds us of who we are and calls us to enter fully into our new identity given to us by the risen Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!, born of God, arise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
born of God, arise and follow your God.

Come and be clothed in God's righteousness:
Come join the band who are called by God's name.

Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!, born of God, arise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
born of God, arise and follow your God.

Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!, born of God, arise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
born of God, arise and follow your God.

Look at the world which is bound by sin:
Walk into the midst of it proclaiming new life.

Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!, born of God, arise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
born of God, arise and follow your God.
