Awake o sleeper by The Brothers Bright Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2012

[Verse 1:]
Oh, Abraham would raise his hands
And mourn this very day
For his children left the promised land;
In search of their own way
They kick and scream like wayward sons
And always wanting to sleep
And dream away these evil days
In hopes that God can't see

[Pre-Chorus:]
There are chains upon Your children, Lord
Chains upon your children
There are chains upon Your children, Lord
Chains

[Chorus]
Do you hear the lion roar? (Awake O Sleeper)
Stand with me, we'll fight the war (Awake O Sleeper)

[Verse 2:]
Your suffering will come again
And never fall away
For we trade our many comforts
Like the one who bled for grace
There will come a day my God will come
And put me in my place
My God, I pray You'll call my name
Instead of turn away
[Pre-Chorus:]
There are chains upon Your children, Lord
Chains upon your children
There are chains upon Your children, Lord
Chains

[Chorus]
Do you hear the lion roar? (Awake O Sleeper)
Stand with me, we'll fight the war (Awake O Sleeper)

[Bridge:]
Let no man bring me harm; I bear the marks of Jesus
Let no man bring me harm; I bear the marks of the Lord
I said let no man bring me harm; I bear the marks of Jesus
Let no man bring me harm; I bear the marks of God

[Chorus]
Do you hear the lion roar? (Awake O Sleeper)
Stand with me, we'll fight the war (Awake O Sleeper)
I say, do you hear the lion roar? (Awake O Sleeper)
C'mon and stand with me, we'll fight the war (Awake O Sleeper)

[Outro:]
(Let no man bring me harm; I bear the marks of Jesus
Let no man bring me harm; I bear the marks of the Lord)
