Verse 1
Heard a voice in the wilderness, clear as a bell
“Be strong and courageous,” Joshua fell
Not on his knees, but into the fight
Promised land waiting on obedient lives
I’ve been drifting, half-alive
But the Word says now’s the time
Pre-Chorus
He said, “I’ll be with you wherever you go”
So I tightened my grip and I let the fear go
Chorus
So stir us up, don’t let us sleep
Hebrews says we’re called to meet
To love, good works, and action lived
Not just words we say we believe
Side by side, iron sharpens steel
Kingdom built by men who kneel
This ain’t hype, this ain’t a show
It’s time to rise, it’s time to go
Verse 2
Laid my past at the foot of the cross
Counted all things finally lost
Empty hands, a broken pride
“Not my will,” I heard Christ cry
If He surrendered everything
Who am I to hold anything?
Pre-Chorus
Faith without works is dead and cold
I’m done being still when I’m called to go
Chorus
So stir us up, don’t let us sleep
Hebrews says we’re called to meet
To love, good works, and action lived
Not just words we say we believe
Side by side, iron sharpens steel
Kingdom built by men who kneel
This ain’t hype, this ain’t a show
It’s time to rise, it’s time to go
Bridge
Fight for your brothers, your sons, your wives
Nehemiah cried it in the firelight
Stand firm in the faith, act like men
First Corinthians, say it again
Be watchful, strong, and unashamed
We were born for more than playing it safe
Breakdown (spoken / half-sung)
March thirteenth, Texas ground
Men of God, gather ‘round
Not forsaking, answering the call
Kingdom Connection, rise or fall
Final Chorus
So stir us up, wake these bones
We weren’t made to walk alone
Encourage now, all the more
As we see You at the door
We lay it down, we take the stand
Led by God, not by man
Obedient hearts, unified
We rise together—multiplied
Outro
Be strong.
Be courageous.
The Lord your God goes with you.
Now build the Kingdom.
