Wake My Heart
Words and music: Mark Graham
1. Wake, my lute, oh wake, my harp,
I will awaken the dawn.
And sing the great eternal's praises
From this hour on.
Wake my heart, oh wake my heart,
I will arise and sing
Declare the glory of His name
to every living thing.
2. Ev'ry land must hear the news,
all of the world must know
The king will come and save his people
from the time of woe,
Knowledge of his righteous ways
over the earth shall be
As deep and wide and wondrous as
the waters of the sea.
3. Then the blind at last shall see,
then all the deaf shall hear,
The dumb shall sing, the lame man shall
go leaping like a deer,
Then the desert shall rejoice,
blossoming as the rose,
For waters shall burst forth and gladden
everything that grows.
4. Then the dead in Christ shall rise,
God will awaken His own
Together we shall reign on earth
before Christ's glorious throne,
All the earth at last shall know,
all of the nations shall see
An age of love and joy and light and
peace and harmony.
