From the recording Your Irresistible Love
Lyrics
Awake – Is.51
Awake, awake put on your strength
O arm of the Lord!
Awake as in the ancient days
In the generations of old
You are the One who dried up the sea
The waters of the great deep;
That made the depths of the sea a road
A highway for the redeemed
Awake, awake put on your strength
Stand up Jerusalem
I have put My words into your mouth
I have covered you with my hand
Awake, awake put on your strength
O Holy City of Zion
Clothe yourself in beautiful garments
O Jerusalem
Chorus
For the redeemed of the Lord shall return
We will come to Zion with singing
Everlasting joy will crown our heads
Flee away sorrow and sighing
