Wake the Dead - John Schlitt

Wake the Dead - John Schlitt
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
Walk away
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
Wake wake
Don't be complacent with your own salvation
Wake the dead wake the dead
Got to lead the lost searching for their way
Wake wake
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
