Awake and Alive
You opened my eyes
To a wonderful sight
Awake and alive
In a glorious light
Revealing your beauty
In endless delight
Amazed and inspired
By beauty so bright
You are holy
You reveal only the truth
And you rescue the soul
Who hopes only in you
Though once I mistrusted
The one who is true
I now know that I
Have hope only in you
For you waited for me
To awaken to you
And your passion to save
All who trust only you
To believe in your word
As the truth and the way
And receive what I need
But can never repay
Like a dream all the chains
On my heart fell away
And I opened my eyes
On that wonderful day
Became truly alive
To the truth and the life
On that beautiful day
In your glorious light
