Awake, My Love

[Spoken call]

Church, the winter is over... Rise up !

[Verse 1]

I was sleepwalking through seasons

Living half a life

Dreaming I was distant

Dreaming I was night

Then a voice came through the garden

Like the first day, like the sun

Saying you were never separate

Saying we have always been one

[Pre-Chorus]

It wasn't guilt that woke me

It was the sound of my own name

[Chorus]

Awake, awake, my love is calling

Rise up from the winter ground

The rain is gone, the vines are blooming

Can you hear that turtledove sound ?

I'm not dreaming anymore

I know just who I am

Awake, awake, the night is over

And the morning's in his hands

[Verse 2]

He never called me sinner

When he came to wake me up

He called me dove, he called me flawless

He called me his beloved one

And you can't go back to sleeping

Once you've heard a love like that

Once the winter's been evicted

It is never coming back

[Bridge]

Arise, my darling, come away

The fig tree's turning green

Everything you thought you dreamed of

Is realer than a dream…

[Coda]

The morning's in His hands

Oh, the morning's in His hands…

… Awake, awake, awake !

[Outro]

And now that I'm awake

I have walked every border

looking for the place where His love ends

And there is none
