Born To Rise And Shine Lyrics

Verse 1
We lived our past in pleasure
Realizing never hidden treasures in our soul
That Gene Of God that is placed within
And at the time appointed
We were anointed to believe this present Word
The Only evidence
That His Life is within
Now justified we are free from sin

Chorus
We were born to rise and shine
For the Lord has come
We’ll rise and shine
We were made to overcome
We’ll rise and shine
Like the stars above

Verse 2
By holding the vision before
every decision that’s how we overcome
The Lord is having then the preeminence
We’ll trust Him ever and doubt Him never
All The Promises He has made
Realizing there is no need to be afraid
For His Word can never fail

Verse 3
We’ll suffer affliction
by this confession
The Scripture has foretold
We consider our trials
more precious than gold
Leaving these worldly pleasures far behind
for greater riches we must now claim
Never mind the reproaches
you bear for His Name
for God’s Children won’t be ashamed

Verse 4
Amidst this world’s frustration
we have restoration
The Earnest of the Promise Land
only be thou courageous and strong
We have the hidden manna
six barley measures
We’re awaiting that final one
Our Lord won’t rest
till His Work is done
We’ll have the fullness of the sun

Verse 5
We’re made superhuman
over every condition
by The Power of His Word
Holding our confession
unto the end
And by His Election
we’ll change dimensions
to a world that’s so sublime
No more to be mortal creatures of time
There forever we shall shine

Notes

The hymn Born to Rise and Shine speaks to the transformative power of God’s Word and the identity of believers as overcomers in Christ. For a Christian, the hymn emphasizes the idea that they are called to live a life of victory, rooted in the divine “Gene of God” placed within them, and to reflect God’s glory by rising above the struggles of the world.

In the first verse, the hymn reflects on past lives lived in pleasure and ignorance of the spiritual treasures within. It celebrates the moment of realization when God’s truth is revealed, and believers are anointed to believe His Word. This realization of God’s life within them brings freedom from sin and a new identity in Christ.

The chorus declares that believers are born to rise and shine, empowered to overcome challenges through God’s strength. This “rising” symbolizes their calling to live out their faith boldly and victoriously, like stars shining brightly.

Subsequent verses focus on practical faith: overcoming challenges by trusting in God’s promises, holding onto His Word, and enduring trials with courage. The hymn encourages believers to embrace suffering for Christ’s sake, knowing that their trials refine them like gold.

The final verses speak of ultimate restoration and transformation, promising that through God’s power, Christians will rise to a future where they will “shine” eternally, free from mortality. The hymn inspires hope, strength, and unwavering trust in God’s eternal promises, urging believers to live out their divine purpose with courage and faith.
