Church Awake, Church Arise!

Church, awake!
Church, arise!
Wipe flags and slogans from our eyes.
Awake to all that Jesus taught.
Forsake the earthly pow’r we’ve sought.
Church, awake!
Church, arise!
The Way of Christ, our path and prize.

Church, awake!
Church, arise!
Say, “No” to Kingdom compromise.
Embracing all that Jesus taught,
shed light on ev’ry selfish thought.
Church, awake!
Church, arise!
The Truth of Christ, our path and prize.

Church, awake!
Church, arise!
Forgiveness wells within His eyes.
Dear Christ, we’ve turned from what You taught,
but now confess the pow’r we’ve sought.
Look! Our tears
clear our eyes!
The Life of Christ, our path and prize.
