Awake
The break of day awakes me with its early morning light
As all the tiny creatures try to scurry out of sight
And birds that join the chorus start to take to flight on wings
That lift them ever higher with the melody they sing
For this is country living not a city sound to hear
Just nature at its finest as creation meets my ear
With sounds of jubilation to our Maker and our King
Who by His grace through wonder has provided everything
Most needed for our living as on Him we do depend
Not turning from His presence but embracing Him as Friend
And Comforter and Saviour perfect Lover of our soul
In Whom we find the resources that make us one great whole
But while we're still held captive in this world immersed in sin
While Satan still has rule upon the hearts of godless men
God's blessings are but limited in scope for us to see
Because of all the evil work of man's iniquity
But God won't wait much longer perfect patience soon will end
And He to Whom creation bows His Truth will soon defend
As those who are His faithful wake from lethargy to be
His champions in righteousness through daily victories
That bring the Light of Jesus to the dark of worldly eyes
And sing the glorious praises that now fill celestial skies
As other worlds are watching those who've waited for so long
Awake to strength in purpose to correct the moral wrong
And bring the Light to darkness that all people have to see
The Truth that's in the scriptures God's provided you and me
That give to us His guidance in salvation's mighty plan
Restoring God's own image in the heart and soul of man
When by His grace He offers that by faith we do accept
His cleansing through our Saviour that leaves us with no regret
But pallets for the painting of the Artist that we find
Most willing to produce the Masterpiece He has in mind
So friend awake don't linger in your lethargy today
Seek God to give you guidance in all things you do and say
As time right now is vital to the life of all mankind
And only those who live the Truth will be what He designed
Psalm 59
