come awake - again

I've come across this song so many times since yesterday. I absolutely love it. a lot.

It's a call to change. A call to turn from who you once were and to find new life in Christ again - even if you are already a Christian, it's so easy to be burdened by "the lie of inward shame." Come awake - awake to new life found in Christ, that you may already have but are not living in fully, or that you have never known before. Come awake - rise up with Christ just as He rose from the dead. That was the whole purpose of His coming - to live, die to our sins (not to His sins because He had none, but to our sins), and then rise up again, giving us new life in His new risen life.

Christ Has Risen by Matt Maher

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love

And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but Heaven's will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down

In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

Sing it, o death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Rise up from the grave


Will you come awake?
