In the dead of the night With no light in sight
My clock gives a ring The alarm begins to ring
The even is gone
Now, morning is come
Oh sleeping Lion AWAKE!
From your slumber From your sleep
From your iniquities From your deeds
You long for darkness and despise the light In you, there's no trace of bright
Oh sleeping Lion AWAKE!
You choose to ignore the seconds that have passed Not knowing that your life is declining fast
Your garment is black Your environment is dark
Your armour is whack For Spirituality, it's 'lack'
Oh sleeping Lion AWAKE!
How long shall you continue to be hit with the darts A victim of the traps
Between you and Christ Is a gap Still you prefer to take short naps
At the expense of wasted hours For God's presence, you prefer light showers'
Oh sleeping Lion AWAKE!
Hmmmmmmmmm! Grace-elect
In the dead of the night With no light in sight
My clock gives a ring The alarm begins to sing
The even is gone
Now morning is come
Oh sleeping Lion, AWAKE!
