Jesus Christ is all I know,
In Him my hope is sure.
The fears and doubts that filled my heart
Shall plague me nevermore.
“Sleeper awake! Rise from the grave,
and Christ will shine on You.”
Oh when I slept in Satan’s lair
My life held nothing true
‘Til sunlight filled my darkened cave,
His Word made all things new.
“Sleeper awake! Rise from the grave,
and Christ will shine on You.”
Your truth has called me out of death,
Dear Savior, ‘tis Your hand
Pierced through for me – Your righteousness,
Your grace in which I stand
“Sleeper awake! Rise from the grave,
and Christ will shine on You.”
Christ, You the Key that leads us through
The narrow gate to Life,
That we may reach eternity
And see the world with new eyes.
“Sleeper awake! Rise from the grave,
and Christ will shine on You.”
For when we reach that distant shore
Our joy will be complete
Our light will be from God alone
We’ll worship at His feet.
“Sleeper awake! Rise from the grave,
and Christ will shine on You.”
