Wake Me Up Lyrics

I was running on autopilot
Eyes open, spirit gone to sleep
Busy building things that couldn’t hold me
Too distracted to see
Then mercy tapped me on the shoulder
And grace just called me by my name
Said “Look around, you’re standing in the middle
Of a life too good to waste”

Wake me up
To the wonder of this moment
Wake me up
To the people that I love
Wake me up
To the miracle of being here
To the gift of every breath
And the goodness of Your touch
I wanna make conscious contact
With the God who made me alive

I’ve been sleepwalking through the sacred
Missing holy ground beneath my feet
Every ordinary Tuesday
Full of grace I couldn’t see
But something cracked me open
And the light came rushing in
Now I’m learning how to notice
What was always there within

This breath
This day
This heartbeat still going
This grace I didn’t earn
These hands
This hope
This road I’ve been shown
This place I can return
I don’t wanna rush through the living
I don’t wanna sleepwalk and miss
The voice of the One who keeps calling me back
To a life that looks like this

Wake me up
To the wonder of this moment
Wake me up
To the people that I love
Wake me up
To the miracle of being here
To the gift of every breath
And the goodness of Your touch
I wanna make conscious contact
Again and again and again
With the life You keep giving
With the grace that won’t end

And when this day is over
And my time here is through
May it be said I truly lived
Awake to life
Awake to You
