Sarah Reeves' song "Awaken" is a worshipful plea for God to intervene and revive His people. The lyrics describe believers who feel broken, lost, and spiritually asleep, yet they wait expectantly for God, who spoke the morning into existence. The song calls for Jesus to come and shake the world, lifting the darkness and awakening hearts. It emphasizes God's constant presence and love, and looks forward to a time when every eye will see His glory and every knee will bow. The overall message is one of hope and surrender, trusting God to break through and renew.

We who walk the broken ground
Who stand and who fall down again
Who just wanna live
And we who wander in a dream
Who look but can't see through the night
Sleeping in the light
We wait for You, who spoke the morning
Open up the skies with thunder
Shake the world and all its wonders
Come, Jesus, come
Awake, awake, awaken us
Lift the dark clouds we've been under
Raise the sun above our slumber
Come, Jesus, come
Awake, awake, awaken us
God of life, You do not sleep
You live and move and breathe with us
Let us see Your love
Brilliant as the risen sun
Lord, rescue every one of us
Let Your kingdom come
For only You will break the darkness
Open up the skies with thunder
Shake the world and all its wonders
Come, Jesus, come
Awake, awake, awaken us
Lift the dark clouds we've been under
Raise the sun above our slumber
Come, Jesus, come
Awake, awake, awaken us
Eyes will see Your power and glory
Knees will fall and we'll sing Holy
We'll sing Holy
Open up the skies with thunder
Shake the world and all its wonders
Come, Jesus, come
Awake, awake, awaken us
Lift the dark clouds we've been under
Raise the sun above our slumber
Come, Jesus, come
Awake, awake, awaken us
Oh God
