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

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

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

Now is the time

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
