We are questions that beg for the answers We are poems awaiting the rhyme We are riddles that long for solution With your breath we come alive
We are silenced when searching for reasons We are weary and broken inside We are desperate for your affection We are darkness you are light
Awaken us, Awaken us Stir in our hearts your truth Awaken us, Awaken us That we might live for you We are ashes, we are dust Awaken us
You whispered the dawn of creation And your love has been on display You have promised that you would be with us We need you, every day
Chorus
You will lead us out of the desert You will hold us when we're weak We will rise up, we will rise up To follow our Great King. We will walk with you up the mountain We walk with you on the sea We will rise up, we will rise up To follow our Great King.
