{Song of the Lord}

Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church

For they slumber in ignorance 
And they sleep in pride
Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church

Lulled into complacency
By false prophets
Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church

They slumber in ignorance
And they sleep in their pride
Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church

Lulled asleep by the gospel
Of ease in Zion
We must wake up the Sleeping Church
We must wake up the Sleeping Church

You must walk in Unity
You must dwell in Unity
But you will wake up the Sleeping Church
You will wake up the Sleeping Church

I will double the anointing I have given you
You must wake up the Sleeping Church
I will double the anointing I have given you
You must wake up the Sleeping Church

OH Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church
AWAKE! AWAKE!!

You must wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church

I will double the anointing I have given you
You must wake up the Sleeping Church
You must walk in unity of faith
And you will wake up the Sleeping Church

ARISE!! ARISE!! 
ARISE!! ARISE!!

Wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church
Peculiar anointings I have give you to
Wake up the Sleeping Church
Strange anointings I have given you to
Wake up the Sleeping Church

You must wake up the Sleeping Church
You must wake up the Sleeping Church

Move as one body
And you will wake up the Sleeping Church
Never in competition or pride
To wake up the Sleeping Church

Oh, wake up the Sleeping Church
Wake up the Sleeping Church

I will bring anointings to compliment yours
So wake up the Sleeping Church
Never in competition or fear
Wake up the Sleeping Church

ARISE!! ARISE!! 
ARISE!! ARISE!!


{congregation's response in song}

AS WE MARCH IN UNITY OF FAITH
WE WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
WITH OUR FACES LIKE FLINT, 
AND OUR HEARTS SOFT
WE WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH

WE MUST WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
DO YOU HEAR HIM SAYING 
"WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH!"
WE MUST WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
WE MUST WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH

AWAKE!! AWAKE!!
ARISE!! ARISE!!
OH CHURCH AWAKE!!

WALK IN THE ANOINTING GOD HAS GIVEN YOU,
YOU WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
DON'T COVET YOUR NEIGHBOR'S 
OR WANT WHAT IS THEIRS
USE YOURS TO WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH!


IT'S A GREAT BIG JOB, BUT HE IS CALLING US
WE MUST WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH!

SOUND THE ALARM IN ZION
WE MUST WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
SOUND THE ALARM IN ZION
WE MUST WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH

WE MUST WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
WE WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
I WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
I WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH

FATHER, I WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
WITH THE ANOINTINGS YOU HAVE GIVEN ME,
I WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH
I WILL WAKE UP THE SLEEPING CHURCH

{spoken prophecy}

The Spirit of God says that, "I will wake up the Church and I will send a double portion of My anointing because it is necessary. The first portion of the anointing will wake her up, for she is lost in slumber," says the Spirit of God. "For she is having companionship with the world," says the Lord. "Worldly ideas, worldly thoughts. Thoughts of compromise. Thoughts of not preaching the full gospel," says the Spirit of God. "And she has laid down with the enemy, and she is slumbering and she is sleeping, and feeling that she is doing fine," says the Spirit of God. "But I will send my messengers," says the Lord, "with a two-edged sword in their mouth, and a double portion of my anointing," says the Spirit of God. "The first to wake her up, and the next to raise her up," says the Spirit of God. "And I will raise up this mighty army, and she will come up out of her bed of languishing and her bed of slumber, and she will rise up and preach my gospel as never before," says the Spirit of God. 

"And I must stir up the prophets in the land that they will sound the trumpet and sound the alarm with this double portion anointing that will both wake her up, stir her up, raise her up, and empower her to go forth in mighty power, and spread My gospel far and wide," says the Spirit of God. "For I am not finished with the world yet, and I am not finished with mankind yet," says the Spirit of God. "And I will use my church, even though she slumbers, and she sleeps, and she knows not the danger that she is in right now," says the Spirit of God. "But I, the Lord God, will raise her up and I will wake her up and I will stir her up to be my glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle, going forth, conquering, subduing, and overcoming the enemy," says the Spirit of the Living God.
