AWAKEN, AWAKEN
THE TIME IS AT HAND
THIS MORNING A NEW SEED IS SOWN
AND THE TREE WILL BEAR FRUIT
WHEN THE NEW CHILD IS GROWN
CHORUS
WHEN YOU HEAR HIM IN THE
TEMPLE

WHEN HIS FATHER DECIDED TO MAKE HIM A MAN
YOU ARE LOST AND HAVE
WANDERED
AFTER THE FALL
SO THIN MORNING HE BRINGS YOU
THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
LISTEN, LISTEN

DOWN FROM HIS HEAVENLY THRONE
TO BRING YOU NEW LIFE
AT THE COST OF HIS OWN
CHORUS

WANDERED AFTER THE FALL
SO THIS MORNING HE BRINGS YOU
THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
CHORUS
YOU WILL BEAT HIM
YOU WILL KILL HIM
HIS BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS
STILL YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN
CREATED A PLAN
HE WILL RISE UP AGAIN
TO ANSWER THE CALL
AND THIS MORNING HE BRINGS YOU
THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
BRIDGE
AND WHAT WILL YOU DO
WITH THE GIFT THAT HE BRINGS

FROM EVERY MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY
AND HILLSIDE IT RINGS
BOTH NOW AND FOREVER AFTER
BOTH NOW AND FOREVER AFTER
MORNING, MORNING
BEAUTIFUL MORNING
AWAKEN RISE UP
A NEW WORLD IS DAWNING
WELCOME, WELCOME
THIS BEAUTIFUL CHILD...
STRANGE BOY
JESUS, I KNEW YOUR FATHER
A SIMPLE MAN, HE WORKED WITH WOOD
JOSEPH WAS A MAN I UNDERSTOOD
BUT YOU...
YOU WERE SUCH A STRANGE BOY
AND JESUS, I KNEW YOUR
MOTHER
MARY, MARY FULL OF GRACE
I COULD TELL JUST BY THE LOOK ON HER FACE
BUT YOU...
YOU WERE SUCH A STRANGE BOY
BRIDGE
THE SHEPHERDS SAID
AN ANGEL SENT THEM TO FIND YOU
I DON'T KNOW
I SUPPOSE THAT IT'S TRUE
AND THREE WISE KINGS
SEARCHED ACROSS THE DESERT FOR YOU
BUT THAT'S NOT A THING THAT A KING
WOULD NORMALLY DO.
SOLO
BRIDGE
THE PROPHET SPOKE
OF THE PROMISE OF SALVATION
I BELIEVE THAT THE PROMISE WAS TRUE
THE WORD MADE FLESH
REVEALED TO EVERY NATION
BUT HOW IN THE WORLD COULD I KNOW
THAT THE PROMISE WAS YOU?
STRANGE BOY
INTERLUDE
OH JESUS, CAN YOU HEAR ME
I'M SICK AT HEART, SO HELP ME PLEASE
COME QUICKLY NOW, I'M ON MY KNEES
IN A BROKEN WORLD, I'M A BROKEN MAN
IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND
IF BEING STRANGE MEANS BEING
LIKE YOU
WELL THEN JESUS...
I'D BE HAPPY TO BE STRANGE , TOO
YOU WERE SUCH A STRANGE BOY
YOU WERE SUCH A STRANGE, STRANGE BOY
YOU WERE SUCH A STRANGE BOY
COME THIS NIGHT
I'VE BEEN WAITING
FOR YOUR WORD
ANCIENT VOICE, DESERT BREEZE
WHISPERS SOFTLY
CALLS TO ME
IN THE NIGHT, IN THE NIGHT
I'VE BEEN WATCHING
FOR YOUR SIGN
SHINING STAR, DESERT SKY
DRAWING NEAR
I WONDER WHY
IN THE NIGHT, IN THE NIGHT
CHORUS
SON OF GOD
COME THIS NIGHT
SON OF GOD
LIGHT OF LIGHT
GIVE US HOPE
PRINCE OF PEACE
SOLO
I'VE BEEN HOPING
FOR THE DAY
WHEN THE WORLD IS FREE FROM SIN
FREE FROM FEAR
THE DARKNESS ENDS
WITH THE DAWN, WITH THE DAWN
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
CODA
SON OF GOD
LIGHT OF LIGHT
PRINCE OF PEACE
COME THIS NIGHT
