[Chorus]
Wake up, oh sleeper
Rise from the dead
Christ will shine on you!
Wake up, oh sleeper
Rise from the dead
Christ will shine on you!
[Verse 1]
I know you been sleeping in your bed of sin
Life's passing by while you've been sleeping in
I know you been running, running from His grace
Why don't you know that you can't get away?
[Chorus]
Wake up, oh sleeper, (sleeper)
Rise from the dead (from the dead)
Christ will shine on you!
Wake up, oh sleeper, rise from the dead
Christ will shine on you!
[Verse 2]
Now you've been busy sleeping
In the shadows of you own wasting the gift of your life
Now the sun is rising, shadows are gone
Get up, wake up, for you've been justified!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The prodigal is waking up
The wayward child is waking up
The down and out is waking up
Prisoner is waking up
The lonely soul is waking up
Pharisee is waking up
I hope of church is waking up
Everybody's waking up
[Chorus]
Wake up, oh sleeper
Rise from the dead
Christ will shine on you!
Wake up, oh sleeper
Rise from the dead
Christ will shine on you!
[Outro]
I said, "Wake up, oh sleeper, rise from the dead
Christ will shine on you"
I said, "Wake up, oh sleeper, rise from the dead
Christ will shine on you"
