[Verse 1]
The winds are blowing through again
So we must follow
A people daring to believe
We can change tomorrow
And be the miracle of light
And we won't give up the fight
[Chorus]
Now is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
No compromise, for all heaven cries
Now is the time
[Verse 1]
The river's running through again rejuvenating
For everything You touch You change
And we've all been changing
We're a city shining on a hill
Tell this world You're shining still
Tell this world You always will
Hey
[Chorus]
Now is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
No compromise for all heaven cries
Now is the time
[Bridge]
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, King of Lights
Jesus, Jesus, raise a church that's shining bright
I want to follow
But what does it mean
To live in this world
And keep everything clean
Nothing I own here
Is ever my own
When I live in the mercy
And blessing You've shown
I lay down my rights
See the world through Your eyes
And fight for the hungry
Who pay for our lives
I want to have You
In all of my world
So Jesus consume me
Flow through me
'Cause now is the time for us to shine
[Chorus]
'Cause now is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
No compromise for all heaven cries
Now is the time
