Wake up! Wake up!
The wolves are biting!
The wolves are clawing and snatching up the sheep
For if we speak without the truth upon our lips
We're giving in and we're falling fast asleep
Creating more prodigals
(sore jaded and worn)
Creating more prodigals
(sore jaded and worn)
We organize and strategize
Yet we're keeping our mouths shut (keeping our mouths shut)
For we are actors without action
When the cost factors no reaction
Still we hide under roof and steeple
'cuz we're afraid of broken people
The wolves are biting!
The wolves are clawing and snatching up the sheep
For if we speak without the truth upon our lips
We're giving in and we're falling fast asleep
Wake up! Wake up!
So if faith comes by hearing (why not speaking by preaching?)
Though my fear is the half truths that many are teaching
The world is lining you up and bids you to come
To live on the edge till your heart it is numb
Lining you up and bids you farewell
To look like the righteous but still live like hell
Are we fighting?
Are we fighting or are we asleep?
Are we dying? Are we dying to aid the sheep?
We compromise in our own eyes
Yet we're keeping our mouths shut (keeping our mouths shut)
For we are actors without action
When the cost factors no reaction
Still we hide under roof and steeple
'cuz we're afraid of broken people
The wolves are biting!
The wolves are clawing and snatching up the sheep
For if we speak without the truth upon our lips
We're giving in and we're falling fast asleep
So are we crying?
So are we crying to all the lost and dead?
Behold, the lamb of God who takes away
The sins of the whole world by his blood shed
Making straight the way, the way of the lord
Making straight the way, the way of the lord
