Elam Arise

“ELAM, ARISE!” is an original worship song for the people and Church of Iran, inspired by Psalm 121 and the faithful witness of Haik Hovsepian Mehr. “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” May this song bring courage to those who pray, worship, and follow Jesus—even when faith carries a cost. Where are you watching from, and what are you praying for in Iran? #ElamArise #ChristianWorship #IranianChristians Lyrics [Verse 1] One man’s pride can wound a nation One faithful “yes” can clear the way You stood for those the world abandoned You bore the cross; you would not break Your voice fell silent in the desert But buried seeds began to wake What they believed would be forgotten Is rising stronger every day [Pre-Chorus] Elam, arise—lift up your eyes Your God has heard your midnight cry No buried seed is lost to Him Your help is near; your hope will rise [Chorus] I lift my eyes toward the mountains Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord My help comes from the Lord The Maker of the heavens and earth My help comes from the Lord [Post-Chorus] From the Lord alone From the Lord alone My help comes from the Lord [Verse 2] We love the blessing, fear the giving We seek the crown, avoid the cost But we have seen the risen Savior Who gave His life to rescue us The grain must fall into the dry ground Before a field can touch the sky What we surrender is not wasted In Jesus, even death brings life [Pre-Chorus] Elam, arise—lift up your eyes Your God has heard your midnight cry No buried seed is lost to Him Your help is near; your hope will rise [Chorus] I lift my eyes toward the mountains Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord My help comes from the Lord The Maker of the heavens and earth My help comes from the Lord [Post-Chorus] From the Lord alone From the Lord alone My help comes from the Lord [Bridge Part 1] We see a desert He sees a garden We see the dry bones He sees an army When Haman rises We rise like Esther We stand like Mordecai And speak His name [Bridge Part 2] No fear, no silence We pray, we worship No fear, no silence We speak His name No fear, no silence We pray, we worship Until the desert Blooms again [Final Pre-Chorus] Elam, arise—lift up your eyes Your help is near; your hope will rise I lift my eyes toward the mountains Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord My help comes from the Lord The Maker of the heavens and earth My help comes from the Lord [Post-Chorus] From the Lord alone From the Lord alone My help comes from the Lord [Outro] Your voice is not forgotten Your fire still remains The seed that fell in silence Is rising through the pain My help comes from the Lord alone
