Come Awake
Aug 29th, 2008 by Nathanael
My favorite song on The David Crowder Band’s cd “A Collision” is “Come Awake.”
Incredible lyrics set to a powerful arrangement.
“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”
That is quite a good song. My favorite on that album is “I Saw the Light” for no more reason than I can’t be listening to that song and not be joyous. Then again, I can’t help but rejoice when I hear the words “and the truest sign of grace is this: from wounded hands redemption fell down, liberating man.” Really, that album has a lot of powerful truth running through the whole thing.
Amen on that!
