Wake Up Sleeper Lyrics – Austin French

Verse 1:
Thank God for the daylight, I spent a long time in the dark
Felt good saying ”Goodbye”, waking up to a brand new heart
And if you’re sleeping like I used to be, in a grave that holds you tight
There’s a Savior calling, mm, promising a brand new life
He’s saying…

Chorus:
Wake up sleeper
Open your eyes
Oh sinner, arise
Leave your past at the door
Wake up sleeper
Come to the light
Christ is alive
Death don’t live here anymore
Death don’t live here anymore


Verse 2:
I bet you like that freedom, ooh, I bet you like your new name
Oh, welcome to the kingdom, yeah, we all feel that way (Mm-mm, mmm)
So if you meet somebody sleeping like, the way you used to be
Tell ’em bout the Savior, ayy, and a little thing called “Free”
Go ahead and say…

Chorus:
Wake up sleeper
Open your eyes
Oh sinner, arise
Leave your past at the door
Wake up sleeper
Come to the light
Christ is alive
Death don’t live here anymore

Bridge:
Rise up and come out of that grave
Rise up in that amazing grace
Oh sleeper, won’t you come awake?
Come awake (Oh-oh-oh, oh)
Rise up and come out of that grave
Rise up in that amazing grace
Oh sleeper, won’t you come awake?
Come awake

Chorus:
Wake up sleeper
Open your eyes
Oh sinner, arise
Leave your past at the door
Wake up sleeper
Come to the light
Christ is alive
Death don’t live here anymore

Outro:
Rise up and come out of that grave
Rise up in that amazing grace
Oh sleeper, won’t you come awake?
Come awake
Rise up and come out of that grave
Rise up in that amazing grace
Oh sleeper, won’t you come awake?
Come awake
