John Schlitt - Wake the Dead lyrics

Wake the dead, wake the dead Take up the call and carry His commission Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be content and just walk away Wake up! There's a job to be done You've got a calling that you haven't begun For too long you've been coasting along You think salvation is the end of it all (The fields are ready but the workers few) You're not heeding the call (It's time the body starts to shout the news) And wake the world up to God's invitation Wake the dead, wake the dead Take up the call and carry His commission Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be content and just walk away There's too much to do to just walk away Darkness blinds a new generation Searching for its place Banished by their own choice of living From His shining grace (But even with such hardened hearts) God cares that they will be found (He had a plan right from the start) To break their chains by His testimony Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be complacent with your own salvation Wake the dead, wake the dead Got to lead the lost searching for their way Wake the dead, wake the dead Take up the call and carry His commission Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be content and just walk away There's too much to do to just walk away Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be complacent with your own salvation Wake the dead, wake the dead Got to lead the lost searching for their way
