Wake Me Up by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

wake me up

verse one:
wake me up from this slumber
teach me, lord, to remember
you shield me, lord, january to december
through the storm you stood by me
to you, lord, i surrender
your loving care is so tender
you and i together, forever
before i was formed you knew my name
though they may rise in great number
you make me strong in face of danger
you gave me strength to face the stranger
for when i am weak then i am strong
arise, o’ lord
o’ king of kings
arise, o’ lord, my redeemer
take your place in my heart now
you’re the way, the truth and the life.

chorus:
abba father
who art in heaven
halloweth be your name
halloweth be your name (2x)

verse two:
you’re on our side
lord, you’re our pride
yes, you’re our guide
through the day and the night (2x)

oh, jesus
our gracious king
to prove your love us
you came and died for our sins
o’ king of kings
our saviour
our precious lord
to prove you love us
you laid your life for your friends
you’re a king indeed. *chorus + v2a*
