Awakened by Grace

Still upset over the friends I never made
Brothers and sisters, we'll meet someday
Every way of wasting time
Is always unconventional
I can't say I'm mad, what can one do with regret
Circumvent, no, rather forget
Sometimes late at night
I think about what it would be like had I stayed right
Would I still have songs to write
Or the experiences that created them
Maybe later on the ones from my past
Will no longer be enemies through my story

Grace still remains undefeated
A foolish past now defeated
I had a dream I was delivered
Now I'll live until I see it

I woke up early two days in a row
After a week of sleeping in til five
Working strange hours
Thank God, He's providing
Put the phone down long enough
To not want to use it again
Pick it up long enough
To struggle putting it down
It's not that I can't fall asleep
I'd just rather not for whatever reasons
Every way of wasting time
Is always unconventional

Grace still remains undefeated
A foolish past now defeated
I had a dream I was delivered
Now I'll live until I see it

Sometimes I think about a dream I had
Where all my friends leaped over a gap
Hesitantly I ended up being last
Nearly devoured but You kept me
Then I ended up at a Christmas shop
Greeted by ones so welcoming
Then there was one about a Christmas factory
Different seasons in my life
Don't know how to write about it
Contrary to factory nightmares
There's one that's started to make more sense
When I think about Your past deliverance

I'm thankful I escaped
I'm thankful I woke up
I'm thankful I'm awake
Dear God, I wanna stay awake
I'm thankful I escaped
I'm thankful I woke up
I'm thankful I'm awake
Dear God, I wanna stay awake
I'm thankful I escaped
I'm thankful I woke up
I'm thankful I'm awake
Dear God, I wanna stay awake
I'm thankful I escaped
I'm thankful I woke up
I'm thankful I'm awake
Dear God, I wanna stay awake

I wanna stay awake
I wanna stay awake
I wanna stay awake
I wanna stay awake

Your grace has led me to victory (I'm thankful I escaped)
All my sins are now washed away (I'm thankful I woke up)
I've had dreams of Your deliverance (I'm thankful I'm awake)
Because You live, I will see it (Dear God, I wanna stay awake)
