As we seek to have a nation that we can truly be proud of, there must be a collective effort in the mobilization and entrenchment of good governance at all levels, even more, now that the elections are near, every citizen must arise to make sure they do the right thing. Hence the birth of this song.
Arise is the official anthem for the Alimosho Arise concert happening on Friday 13th January 2023. It's a call for a new Nigeria, a call for prayer and praise for our country. We cannot have a great nation if we do not rise to the occasion.
The song features rising gospel artists from Calvary Bible Church; Jeff Prince, Chuks Nelsing, Favour Awharen, Femi Aula, and Tunji Da Chosen with a special feature of Pst. Olumide Emmanuel, the Overseer, Truth Of Calvary Ministries.

Intro (Pastor Olumide Emmanuel)
Hello Nigerians
Hello Kingdom Citizens
It's time to arise, and it's time to shine
As our great nation Nigeria gets into this pivotal season in 2023
Its time for the new Nigerians and the kingdom's citizens
to arise and play their part to bring forth the emergence
of that new Nigeria
There can never be a new Nigeria without New Nigerians
It's time to arise and pray, it's time to arise and praise
It's time for worship and warfare
Let's all arise and shine so that our nation can shine again.

Yes we have been equipped
Yes we have been empowered
It's time to go forth and shine the light
As we push the darkness away
Darkness is just the absence of light
You are the Light, I am the light
Let's go forth and shine
So that Nigeria will become that which God
has destined for it to become
It's time to arise, its ti shine, it's time to manifest, it's time to become.
It's time to show forth, it's time to be revealed.
Go and play your part.
