Awake, Arise—

Awake, Arise—

As Christ knelt down in prayer to go,
To serve, then rise to face the foe,
Truth still burns through deepest night—
To wash, then walk by faith, not sight.

Walk like one who’s healing still,
With careful step and bending will.
Though past the pain, don’t rush the race—
Lean every moment into grace.

By faith and Spirit, walk with rest—
In grace and truth, pass each test.
Awake, arise—why linger long?
The day is here, the night is gone.

Redeem the time—delay no more.
Crave less, give more, walk through the door.
Stand tall, take heart, embrace the day—
His road is life. Now walk His way.
