"Wake The Dead" Lyrics [edit]
by John Schlitt | from the album Shake
 

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,
Gotta 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 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,
Gotta 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.
