Now Is The Time Lyrics
The Mission Bell album version:
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
Hey
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
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
Cos now is the time for us to shine
Cos 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
Now Is The Time album version:
Spoken:
You know people, now is the time
Here we go
Hey, hey
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
Church, are you ready - spoken
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
Jesus - spoken

Cos now is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
Now is the time, cos now
Now is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
Now is the time for us to shine
Each and every one to shine
Spoken:
Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did
God removes the veil, and there they are, face to face
They suddenly recognized that God is a living, personal presence
Not a piece of chiseled stone
When God is personally present, a living Spirit
That old constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete
We're free of it
All of us
Nothing between us and God
Our faces shining with the brightness of His face
And so we are transfigured, much like the Messiah
Our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful
As God enters our lives
And we become more like Him
The time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine, yeah
'Cos Now is the time for us to shine
(You shine) Shine with the face of Christ divine
Now, now
'Cos now is the time for us to shine
Shine with the face of Christ divine
Come on
No compromise, for all heaven cries
Now is the time
Whoa, now, now, now is the time, whoa, yeah
Glory to God
