Sing a New Song

We are walking in the deep, deep dark,
Stagger suddenly beneath this weight
Has the future ever seemed so stark?
Have you ever felt your heart so ache?

But the light that flows into these shadowlands
Only the passion of God could create
He will lift off your burden to let you stand--
This is the peace for which we wait

(Chorus)
Wake up, wake up, and sing a new song;
Glory to God, here comes the True Dawn
Wake up, wake up, and sing a new song

We are sleeping in the night of fear,
In the doldrums of a chained routine
How we long for anywhere but here,
Stuck inside a spiritless machine

But the clean, cool water of freedom
Is an awakening, cleansing stream
And if you follow where the flowing is leading,
You will be led to the Love Supreme

(CHORUS)

This is a song of God’s perfect salvation,
A song we hear and sing day after day:
If you give Him glory, as His song repeats,
You will join His story, He will give you peace
With the echoes of shepherds, and the angels' shouts,
Hear the joy of all Heaven flying from your mouth
For the song that you claim at the first every morn
Blossoms new, yet the same as when the Christ child was born, so...

(CHORUS)

Wake up, wake up, and sing a new song;
Glory to God, here comes the True Dawn
Wake up, wake up, and sing;
Wake up, wake up, and sing;
Wake up, wake up, and sing a new song
