I will Awaken the Dawn
Marlou: “Reading Psalms 108: 1-5 I was amazed by the beauty of these words. We can awaken the dawn with our worship. One day while driving, this melody arose and as the song was arranged and finalized by Frank and the musicians, I could envision an enormous crowd of people dancing and worshipping the King of Glory with all of creation.”
My heart is steadfast oh God
I will sing and make music
With all of my soul
Awake harp and lyre
Awake harp and lyre
I will awaken the dawn
Chorus:
I will awaken the dawn
With my praise to my God
With my praise to my God (2x)
I will praise you oh Lord
I will sing of you among the nations
For great is your love
Higher than the heavens
Your faithfulness reached to the skies
(Chorus)
Be exalted, oh God, above the heavens
And let Your glory be over all the earth
