Lyrics I24 - Misty Edwards

I24

What does it take to wake up a globe
That’s been flying high on deceit?
What does it take to wake up the world
That’s been flying high on a cocktail of lies?
Tottering like a hut in the wind
Like a drunk, man reeling to and fro
Transgressions are heavy upon it
The earth mourns and fades, languishes away
The proud and the haughty go with it
The earth is defiled by the keepers thereof
They have broken the everlasting covenants
And nature, they tried to defy
Transgressions are heavy upon it
But Heaven is seeking for those who cry
Among the nations, does anyone sigh?
For the world and its people who buy the lie
Lovers of truth, arise and weep
Gather together, wake up the church
In a sacred assembly, come pray
For the only solution
The return of the Son
He is coming to judge the earth
To make the wrong things right, hey yeah
Only those who love Him survive
The oppressor will break
The back of the ones
Who love not the truth but the lie
Delusion’s wave sweeps the people away
With chants of «peace and safety»
But there’s no peace until He returns
Only those who love Him survive
Jesus is seeking for those who pray
Among the nations, will He find faith?
When the world and its people buy the lie
Lovers of truth, arise and sing
And sing
Awaken the morning
Awaken the dawn
Awaken the morning
We’re the song in the night
In the night
It’s a new day, a new way, a new weight
A Kingdom of love, love, love
It’s a new day, a new weight, a new way
A Kingdom of love, love, love
He’s coming, He’s coming
Awake, awake O morning
Awake, awake the dawn
