John Elefante - Awakening lyrics

What is that sound waking me out of my sleep? It's the most beautiful sound echoing on through the streets They're singing “Praise Him” They're singing “Praise Him” (x2) They had obeyed His command to gather in this place They came from faraway lands to sing of His mercy and grace A new day has begun, His people are joined as one to awaken this land And the time has drawn near for all those who have ears to believe or be left behind To believe or be left behind What is that sound waking me out of my sleep? It's the most beautiful sound echoing on through the streets They're singing “Praise Him” They're singing “Praise Him” (x2) Angelic voices fill the air It's a joyful occasion to break to the nations this truth that must be shared A time for repentance and a time to show reverence to the One who can take you there And the time has drawn near for all those who have ears to believe or be left behind To believe or be left behind What is that sound waking me out of my sleep? It's the most beautiful sound echoing on through the streets They're singing “Praise Him” They're singing “Praise Him” (x2) Why did it take so long to come together as one And lift our lands unto the Lamb of God? What is that sound waking me out of my sleep? It's the most beautiful sound echoing on through the streets They're singing “Praise Him” They're singing “Praise Him” (x2) “Praise Him” They're singing “Praise Him”
