I see Your banner above, lifted over our heads
It's waving in the sky and it's stained in red
From the far away hills comes a voice in the night
It's ringing in our hearts like a battle cry
Now we're coming alive
We're coming alive
Open your hearts
Take what's inside, let it go
We're speaking out for a change, but words are never enough
We could be the hands and the feet of Love
You need Love
Now we're coming alive
We're coming alive
Open your hearts
Take what's inside, let it go
Wake up from your sleeping
There's something to believe in
The only way to Love is to give yourself
Oh give yourself
Now we're coming alive
We're coming alive
So open your hearts
Take what's inside
Coming alive
We're coming alive
Open your hearts
Take what's inside
Open your hearts
Take what's inside
Open your hearts
Take what's inside and let it go

Phil Wickham's song 'Coming Alive' is a call to action for believers to move beyond words and embody God's love through tangible acts of service. The lyrics use imagery of a banner and a battle cry to inspire urgency and purpose. The song encourages listeners to awaken from complacency, open their hearts, and give themselves fully to love others. It emphasizes that true faith requires hands-on involvement, not just speaking. The message aligns with the biblical call to be the hands and feet of Christ, serving others as an expression of God's love.
