Come Awake

I love music. I have a soundtrack to life. Maybe one day I'll tell you more about that soundtrack, but for now, just know that I have it. Anyway, I love music. I particularly love lyrics. I mean the music has to be good, but the lyrics are usually what get me. So I thought I would share the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. It came on my iPod when it was on shuffle the other day, and it just reminded me how much I love it. It's on my soundtrack to life from 2008. I also put it on our team soundtrack from 2007. It's that good.

The lyrics are amazing, but the music, especially the rhythm, makes the song. So if you've never heard of it, you should definitely give it a listen. :) Here ya go.

Come Awake - David Crowder Band

Are we left here on our own?
Can you feel when your last breath is gone?
Night is weighing heavy now
Be quiet and wait for a voice that will say

Come awake
From sleep, arise
You were dead
You’ve come alive
Wake up wake up
Open your eyes
Climb from your grave
Into the light
Bring us back to life

You are not the only one
Who feels like the only one
Night soon will be lifted friend
Just be quiet and wait for the voice that will say

Come awake
From sleep, arise
You were dead
You’ve come alive
Wake up wake up
Open your eyes
Climb from your grave
Into the light
Bring us back to life

Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise, rise….
Shine, shine, Oh shine
We will shine
We will rise
We will shine, shine, shine
