about

"Wake Up" by Graham Kendrick is the fourth song recorded at a special concert in June 2017.

Watch Graham talk about the inspiration behind the song here:

The whole event was recorded and filmed and more songs and videos will be available online in the coming months culminating in the release of a new album.

Graham says of the song: "Wake Up came from a desire to capture some of the grit and determination found in Psalm 57 when David suggests that he's had enough of the darkness and that he will sing the songs that awaken the dawn".

lyrics

Verse 1:
Wake, wake up, wake up my soul
Wake instruments of music
Wake my strength, my will my tongue
And fill this house with thankful song

Chorus:
Be exalted high above the heavens
Let your glory cover the earth, the sky, the sea
O the love of God that reaches
Far and wide from Calvary

Verse 2:
Wake, wake up, my spirit wake
Let faith and love awaken
Long and dark may be the night
But we will wake, wake up the sun

Bridge:
O the love of God that reaches
Far and wide from Calvary

Verse 3:
Soon the shout at dead of night
Awake, O Church from slumber
Keep the fires burning bright
Be ready when the Bridegroom comes
