The song starts with a five-line chorus, and this is repeated after each of the four verses. A rough outline is:

1 Men of faith, rise up and sing ...

Chorus:
Shout to the north and the south
Sing to the east and the west
Jesus is saviour to all,
He is Lord of heaven and earth.

2 Rise up women of the truth ....

Bridge:
We've been through fire, we've been through rain ....

3 Rise up church with broken wings ...
