Contemporary Christian star Jeremy Camp has released Come Alive as the second single off his latest release, Reckless. It’s a great song, co-written with Andy Dodd, and contains the same kind of anthemic singalong chorus that Camp is known for. With its rapid ascension up the chart – the song is most-added this week at Christian CHR – it looks like Camp is going to earn himself yet another Top 10 hit. Well-done, Mr. Camp!
COME ALIVE Lyrics
Jeremy Camp
As I watch the world being held captive by dreams
That will never be fulfilled in this life
Chasing the darkness and everything that surrounds
All the emptiness buried inside
Well I won’t stop showing this hope that is holding
The passion so deep in my heart
To tell all the world of Your love and affection
And the plan that You’ve had from the start
So I will continue to fight
‘Til the world comes alive
‘Til the world comes alive
‘Cause You have restored us
And You have redeemed us
And we have been given new life
‘Cause You are alive
There is a freedom that begins by receiving
The forgiveness that cleanses us all
All the broken and bleeding just start by believing
His love has conquered death’s call.
So I will continue to fight
I walk out on the battlefield
See that all the pain is real
Be the hands that stop the bleeding
Seeing all these wounded souls
All they really need is hope
I’ll show Your great love is healing
As I watch the world being held captive by dreams
That will never be fulfilled in this life
