Arise and awaken
He is King, He is King
Arise, my soul awaken
All flesh is grass, surely fading fast
Oh, soon it's all gone and we'll fly away
Oh, soon it's gone, it's gone
Oh, You are the Maker, the life sustainer
Everything comes, everything goes
When You give the word have mercy, oh Lord
And satisfy me when I arise
Arise, my soul awaken
That I might sing and be happy all my days
How long will there be mourning
Return to us, return to us
Oh, soon it's all gone, we'll fly away
Oh, soon it's gone, it's gone
Oh, You are the Maker, the life sustainer
Everything comes, everything goes
When You give the word have mercy, oh Lord
And satisfy me when I
Teach me to number my days at the most 80 years
Who cares about meaningless things
I do, and I care about art too and I care about yahoo
Things that are fleeting, fading away
Awaken my soul
Awaken my soul
You are the Maker, the life sustainer
Everything comes, everything goes
When You give the word have mercy, oh Lord
You are the Maker, the life sustainer
And everything comes, everything goes
When You give the word have mercy, oh Lord
And satisfy me when I arise
