The rising tide, the Spirit's call
The power of the perfect King
Sweeps through the earth, subdues the strong
Erases death's cold, mocking sting
God entered Time, came as a babe
Became a man, cast Satan down
Watched as he fell like lightening
From the heavens to the ground
(refrain between each verse)
Rising tide (rising tide)
Of righetousness (righteousness)
The Kingdom is at hand
What Satan thought was victory
Became the means of his defeat
The Lord, on cruel Calvary
Crushed Satan's head beneath His feet.
Christ conquered death and cancelled sin,
Ascended to the Father's throne
Then sent His Spirit like the wind
To draw us in, to lead us home
And now Hell's stronghold on the earth
Is plundered by the risen Lord
And powerless, the demons roar
When souls are fed the Living Word
No force can stop the spreading Church.
No foe can stem the rising tide
Of those alive in Second Birth
Through Him who lives, though crucified
Still rising tide, still flowing free
Bursts the dam the devil raised
And surging on to victory
Christ the champion be praised.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords
He will come down to earth again.
And love will cover all the world
In the kingdom without end
