David Meece
Raise These Arms
[Verse 1]
In the ease of unconcern
I rested lazily to the sound of the careless songs
Well, it almost got the best of me
Then I heard the prophet's anger echo from the centuries
'Til I couldn't fight the truth, I could only answer

[Chorus]
I will raise these arms
With the reapers of the harvest
With the servants of the Lord
I will raise these arms
In the field and in the vineyard
I will labor
I will raise these arms
Yes, I will

[Verse 2]
Say to those who sleep in Zion, "Now the time has come to rise."
Can you hear the voice of Jesus, see the fire in his eyes?
Who will go and help the hopeless?
Who will go and help the weak?
Lead the lost sheep to the shepherd
Who will answer?

[Chorus]
I will raise these arms
With the reapers of the harvest
With the servants of the Lord
I will raise these arms
In the field and in the vineyard
I will labor
I will raise these arms
Yes, I will
[Bridge]
'Cause we have wrestled with the angel
We've wandered in the night
And we lost the way in pointless games
Now it's time to stop pretending
Time we get up on our feet and say
Hey, hey

[Chorus]
I will raise these arms, ooh
I will raise these arms
In the field and in the vineyard
Come on, come on

[Chorus]
I will raise these arms
With the reapers of the harvest
With the servants of the Lord
I will raise these arms
In the field and in the vineyard
I will labor
I will

[Chorus]
I will raise these arms
With the reapers of the harvest
With the servants of the Lord
I will raise these arms
In the field and in the vineyard
I will labor
I will raise these arms
[Chorus]
I will raise these arms
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on
I will raise these arms
In the field and in the vineyard
I will labor
I will

[Outro]
I will raise these arms
I will raise these arms
In the field and in the vineyard
I will labor
I will raise these arms
