Wake Up Sleeper

[Verse 1]
Wake up sleeper
It's time to rise and shine
There's a season to lay down
But right now just ain't that time
Wake up sleeper
Have you heard and don't you know?
The verdict is not guilty
That debt is paid in full

[Pre-Chorus]
Holy roar getting loud, loud, loud
All these walls falling down, down, down

[Chorus]
Swing wide you prison doors
We ain't prisoners anymore
We're dancing, we're shaking
To the sound of our chains breaking
Who freed us? Who freed us?
The grace, the hope, the blood of Jesus

[Verse 2]
Wake up sleeper
Can't hold it in no more
Let your voices hit the ceiling
While your chains hit that floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Holy roar getting loud, loud, loud
All these walls falling down, down, down

[Chorus]
Swing wide you prison doors
We ain't prisoners anymore
We're dancing, we're shaking
To the sound of our chains breaking
Who freed us? Who freed us?
The grace, the hope, the blood of Jesus

[Bridge]
Wake up, wake up, oh sleeper
The Son has set you free
Wake up, wake up, oh sleeper
Yes, you are free indeed

[Outro]
We're dancing, we're shaking
To the sound of our chains breaking
Who freed us? Who freed us?
The grace, the hope, the blood of Jesus
