[Hook]
I’m wide awake (wide awake)
Eyes open wide (open wide)
Locked on the sky during the day
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Put all the wickedness aside
You don’t know when he’ll return
Boy, you don’t know when it’s your time
For the Lord my heart, it burns
His kingdom’s welcomed in this rhyme
[Verse 1]
He’ll shine his light right through the dark
His words of power standing true
And with his words you’ll leave a mark
Cleaving demons through and through
They should’ve known they couldn’t play
About His children, there’s no doubt
That in his presence’s where we stay
I’m a living testimony
Don’t you see? I’m living proof
With a faith standing through the roof
[Hook]
I’m wide awake (wide awake)
Eyes open wide (open wide)
Locked on the sky during the day
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Put all the wickedness aside
You don’t know when he’ll return
Boy, you don’t know when it’s your time
For the Lord my heart, it burns
His kingdom’s welcomed in this rhyme
[Verse 2]
Here comes his kingdom!
It’s shining bright!
You feeling seldom?
Standing upright?
You have to lock in on his word
Study it to save your life
Pick up your faith and drop that sword
Lest you be filled up with that strife
Dropping jewels in all these songs
Hope that you can comprehend
He can right all of your wrongs
And He’ll say “Go, don’t sin again.”
There’s no malice in His tongue
He’ll have your life aligned and clear
Even when these times get rough
I’ll still stand tall while shedding tears
See my strength’s not of my own
It’s from the source, bet it’s gon last
See Him seated on His throne
And leave your sins all in the past!
[Hook]
I’m wide awake (wide awake)
Eyes open wide (open wide)
Locked on the sky during the day
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Put all the wickedness aside
You don’t know when he’ll return
Boy, you don’t know when it’s your time
For the Lord my heart, it burns
His kingdom’s welcomed in this rhyme
[Hook]
I’m wide awake (wide awake)
Eyes open wide (open wide)
Locked on the sky during the day
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Put all the wickedness aside
Here comes his kingdom!
It’s shining bright!
You feeling seldom?
Standing upright?
You have to lock in on his word
Study it to save your life
Pick up your faith and drop that sword
Lest you be filled up with that strife
Dropping jewels in all these songs
Hope that you can comprehend
He can right all of your wrongs
And He’ll say “Go, don’t sin again.”
[Outro]
The day’s coming fast and quick
But there is still so much to say
Please stay strong and never quit
Have a strong faith and never sway
Or never stray away from Him
Keep His words close to your heart
None of these words come from a whim
And if death cant do us part
We’ll never separate from him!
