Glowing clouds of lightning
Quakes of mighty thunder
Our souls expand for what is grand,
To grow with awe and wonder
Varieties of plant and beast
And stars beyond all measure,
Every atom in the universe
Continues at God's pleasure

Chorus:
Behold Your God
Bow and worship
Throw down your crowns
Prostrate at His feet
Rejoice with all creation
He is Lord above all nations
His beauty, pow'r and justice are your song
Behold your God

Those who walk in darkness will see a great light
Grace and justice meet; love and truth will unite
Every hope and joy meet in this Child tonight;
Waves of great relief swirl with awe and delight

Refrain:
Wow, hallelujah
Wow, hallelujah
Wow, hallelujah
The King is born!

Powerless, we see in the Lord our true hope
Yet the years pile up since the Almighty spoke
Trust in Him; the fullness of time will unfold
Wait and wait again, He is patient, not slow

Out of despair, I cry a prayer:
Hear my voice, oh Lord!
Let Your ears be list’ning for me;
Let mercy be my reward.

 Chorus:
Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord
For in the Lord is unfailing love
And full redemption

If You had been counting our sins,
Oh Lord, who could survive?
But You forgive again and again;
We rev’rence You, God on high

Refrain:
We ache and rejoice, we long and we fear
For mercy and justice to visit us here
We tremble and trust as the Day of the Lord comes near

Days of injustice drag on
Corruption and sin all around
But when He returns to make everything right,
Will anyone righteous be found?

REFRAIN

Why does the Lord seem so far
Away from our suffering and pain?
Dear children of God, hear the Spirit and hope
O trust and do not be afraid

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
