Song Lyrics
The Banner Raised
Verse 1:
Across the valleys, over the hills,
Gather now, His Spirit fills.
Under the banner of Christ our King,
Together we stand, together we sing.
Chorus:
The banner raised, high and wide,
In the name of Jesus, we abide.
His love our call, His life our praise,
Under His banner, we raise.
Verse 2:
From every nation, every tongue,
The body of Christ, together as one.
Bound by His love, saved by His grace,
Under one banner, one holy place.
Chorus:
The banner raised, high and wide,
In the name of Jesus, we abide.
His love our call, His life our praise,
Under His banner, we raise.
Bridge:
See the cross, where He bled and died,
Now risen, glorified.
He leads us forth, in victory’s parade,
No longer afraid, His debt is paid.
Chorus:
The banner raised, high and wide,
In the name of Jesus, we abide.
His love our call, His life our praise,
Under His banner, we raise.
Outro:
So let the trumpets sound, let the people sing,
Of the mighty power of our King.
His banner over us, love and grace,
Forever we’ll live, under His embrace.
Intercede for the global Church to rise as one under Jesus’ banner—bold, united, and burning with love. May you carry the banner of Jesus boldly and joyfully, a beacon of light and truth to a watching world.Spiritual Engagement
