Awake

We glimpse what it is like to be awake
To see Your truth with sinful sleep removed,
And now we know the reason our hearts ache
For You whose truth is wrapped in Your great love.

We see Your Cross raised high upon a hill
And see our sin with You is crucified,
But righteous life in You cannot be killed,
As Mother looks upon Your wounded side.

For she knows You from Father came to her
To recreate through her the human race,
And through You all creation is made pure,
As she is new creation’s human face.

Now she’s awake and for us shows the way
To dawn of all creation’s new-born day.
