When the stormy winds prevail When all hope appears to fail When the waves come crashing down Around you Everytime your teardrops fall Even when the heartaches call There is Someone who will know Your sorrow His love will never fail you His arms are open wide Arise! To the open arms of Jesus Arise! His mercies never end Arise! The grave could never hold him And now the risen Savior says to you Arise! When the darkness presses in And there seems to be no friend Who can feel your pain and know Your sadness Lift your eyes and see the face Of the one who can erase All the hopelessness that wraps Around you His love will never fail you His arms are open wide Arise! To the open arms of Jesus Arise! His mercies never end Arise! The grave could never hold him And now the risen Savior says to you Arise! Always reaching To the fallen Lifting up the Weary heart Always seeking Always searching Can you hear him call? Arise! To the open arms of Jesus Arise! His mercies never end Arise! The grave could never hold him And now the risen Savior says to you Arise! To the open arms of Jesus Arise! His mercies never end Arise! The grave could never hold him And now the risen Savior says to you Arise! Arise!
