Awake
(For the American Church)
Awake, arise
Oh, Great one of the west
Can’t you see?!
Born in blood’s struggle
Birthed for the sake
Of freedom &
To throw off a yoke
Of tyranny!!
Step out of your darkness
Renew your strength
From the blood of martyrs
Birthed
And a savior’s sacrifice.
Give up your pursuit
Of ease and comfort.
Face the battle once again
As you did of long ago.
Raise up a fist toward heaven!
Proclaim His name
Over a land lost
In self-indulgence and
Satan’s lust for power.
Release your sleeping stupor
And surround yourself
With your lost, but still
Available Heavenly Power!
Shake off the dust on your shoulders
Proclaim His Name,
this His battle cry,
Become a world’s changer
change this game below
from that of Satan’s hate
to a Salvation found only
in Christ’s deep love.
