Awake O Sleeper – Rise from the Dead – Live

Standard

Awake O sleeper (arise from the dead)

(Done like an old protest song i.e. Marvin Gaye or early Isley Bro. – Reggae? (Could also be done as a country/R&B)  The lyrics will dictate the natural baseline.  Must be ass kicking and righteously angry.

 

The great Uncle is not your friend.

He would be your master.

(And) talking heads just keep on talking.

Don’t confuse them with your pastor.

 

Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.

But your heart knows the Truth.  Your heart knows the Truth.

Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.

The Light shines in the darkness . . . Let It shine on you.

 

Your creed is not the journey.

Though It might lead to journeys end.

Seek the answer to the riddle.

From walking Death to waking Life transcend.

 

Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.

But your heart knows the Truth.  Your heart knows the Truth.

Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.

The Light shines in the darkness . . . Let It shine on you.

 

Hold lightly to your strength.

And all you think you know.

For the Light shines in the darkness.

And it is in weakness that Grace will grow.

 

BRIDGE

Caesar has no love for you, you’re a number on a page.

Doctrine is a guide, but its just trappings on the stage.

Life is calling you to wake up (now).  Shake off the webs they weave.

Step into Reality (Life), become more than you (can) conceive.

 

Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.

But your heart knows the Truth.  Your heart knows the Truth.

Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.

The Light shines in the darkness . . . Let It shine on you.

  1. This one felt better to me than the other. There are times, however, when just hearing you put your thoughts out there in your own speaking voice is much more effective.
