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 2
The rivers 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.

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.
