Song Lyrics
Confronting Jezebel
Verse 1:
In the courts of power and pride,
Lies spun, truth denied.
As prophets of old took their stand,
Against Jezebel’s corrupt land.
Chorus:
Rise up, rise up, with courage bold,
Speak truth where lies are told.
Confront the shadows, bring the light,
In God’s power, not by might.
Verse 2:
In the face of fear and scorn,
A prophet’s resolve is born.
With God’s word as their sword,
They challenge the unrighteous lord.
Chorus:
Rise up, rise up, with courage bold,
Speak truth where lies are told.
Confront the shadows, bring the light,
In God’s power, not by might.
Bridge:
As Elijah faced the altar’s test,
We confront what destroys, not bless.
In God’s strength, our spirits rise,
Against deception, truth defies.
Outro (Repeat Chorus):
Rise up, rise up, with courage bold,
Speak truth where lies are told.
Confront the shadows, bring the light,
In God’s power, not by might.
Lead Sheet
