Arise and go into the city

Arise and go into the city

Johnny Sharpe

There you will meet

      a man

      who will take you to his home

He will care for you

      pray for you

      set you free

And take away the pain you feel

      the curse of the truth

            you never knew

You have seen enough now

      to bind you

      and you will never see so much again

You must take hold of that

      which was revealed

      on the road

You are now the one

      who will show the truth

            you never knew

Do not forget this day

      for you have seen

      that blessing often brings pain

Just as seeing the light

      brought the darkest truth

            you ever knew
