Awake

Awake, awake shake off the dead of night And turn your face toward the morning light Awake, awake shake off the dead of night And turn your face toward the morning light Open your eyes Leave darkness behind you Put the grave clothes away And live for the day Awake and rise Awake and rise with me Awake, awake and with the rising sun A bright new day of mercy has begun Awake, awake and with the rising sun A bright new day of mercy has begun Follow the light Leave shadows behind you Run for the prize As you look to the skies Awake and rise Awake and rise The past has faded Like the twilight Of a thousand former days But in the morning There's a light to Set this darkened world ablaze All that was made Illuminated, recreated Can't you see The Lord is doing Wondrous new things Stir yourself from sleep And rise with me Awake and rise Awake and rise Awake and rise Awake and rise with me
