Gift Eight: Awake - 12 Days of Giveaways

Isa 52:1-9, Eph 5:14

Blessed is he who comes

In the Name of the Lord

Self denied, crucified

Sold out to the core

Love makes feet beautiful

Mouths a flaming sword

Ready these hands for battle

Teach our knees to war

Wake up, wake up

Put on your strength

Put on your beautiful clothes

Break the chains from your neck.

Wake up, wake up

Put on your strength

Shake yourself from the dust

It’s time to sit up straight

The spirit is willing

Weak is the flesh

To fulfil the bidding

Yet onwards we press

Body inspired

With love so divine

Glory transfigured

Upwards we climb

Sending out a sound

Calling all the people

Ringing the bells

From a new church steeple

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
