"Let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God." Genesis 35:3

  1. Seen too many years of straying
        ever drifting far from home.
    All the while Someone's been praying
        that this wand'rer cease to roam.

           I'll arise and go to Bethel,
              build an altar there to God
           Who's been with me every day now
              in the way my feet have trod.

  2. Deep inside there's been a yearning
        for a purpose under heav'n.
    No pursuit could quench this burning
        in a soul so tossed and driv'n.

           Just to rise and go to Bethel
              fills the heart with melody-
           Brings a life so out of focus
              into perfect harmony.
