Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the month of Nisan, back in the day,
Nehemiah served the king, in a major way. (That's right)
Wine in hand, but sadness on his face,
The king asked, "Why the sorrow? What's out of place?" (What's wrong?)
Nehemiah prayed, then spoke with heart,
"The city of my ancestors, it's torn apart." (It's broken)
The king gave the nod, granted him the way,
Letters for protection, to rebuild and stay. (Let's go)
(Chorus)
I will proclaim, I won't stay quiet, (Never quiet)
Fix my eyes on Jesus, start a holy riot. (Start it up)
Inspect my walls, see where I stand, (Check it out)
Rebuild my faith, with God’s command. (God's plan)
(Verse 2)
Reached Jerusalem, under the moon's light, (Late night)
Checked the broken walls, in the dead of night.
God's work in ruins, but the vision was clear, (Crystal clear)
Inspect the walls, gotta face my fear. (Face it)
Bad news spreads, but it sparks a change, (True that)
Increased wickedness, yeah, the world’s deranged. (So crazy)
Preach to the bones, let them rise again, (Rise up)
God's breath gives life, let's not pretend. (No pretend)
(Chorus)
I will proclaim, I won't stay quiet, (Never quiet)
Fix my eyes on Jesus, start a holy riot. (Start it up)
Inspect my walls, see where I stand, (Check it out)
Rebuild my faith, with God’s command. (God's plan)
(Bridge)
Sanballat and Tobiah, they mocked our quest,
But God's hand on us, we were truly blessed.
"God will give us success," Nehemiah proclaimed,
"No claim here for you, in Jerusalem's name."
(Verse 3)
With faith fortified, we began the work,
Enemies plotted, their plans berserk.
But we stood strong, with swords in hand,
Defending our families, protecting our land.
"Don’t be afraid," Nehemiah’s call,
"Remember the Lord, great and above all."
Fight for your families, sons and daughters too,
In the face of fear, rise up and push through.
(Chorus)
I will proclaim, I won't stay quiet, (Never quiet)
Fix my eyes on Jesus, start a holy riot. (Start it up)
Inspect my walls, see where I stand, (Check it out)
Rebuild my faith, with God’s command. (God's plan)
(Outro)
Fight for your family, fight for your home,
With God on our side, we're never alone.
Forget everything and run? Nah, face it and rise,
With faith in our hearts, we'll reach for the skies.
