When you wake, what do you see?

The glory of light that has broken the night

But only with opened eyes

The beauty of life that has rested the strife

But only with faith that cries

That there’s One

One greater than all my fears

One that’s been faithful through all the years

One that’s better than my best adhere-ance

To the rules – oh the rules – the blessed rules

The rules that guide – that lead to life

Which lights the way while it’s yet night

Which I’ve snuffed out through my countless tries

I’m not good enough

I’m not smart enough

I’m not clean enough

I’m not tall enough – to reach You where You are

Consumed by desperation

Deserving of eternal damnation

Free to drink yet dying of dehydration

Air to breath yet gasping in suffocation

So You came down

Took the curse

Became the curse

Cursed the curse

So it has no power…over me

Let me ask You…

When You wake, what do You see?

Jesus, You woke!!!...so I CAN see

That You are everything. I. Need.
