Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Phil Wickham has released Your Love Awakens Me, the carrier single of his new album, Children of God (out in digital and CD formats on April 8).
Instantly likeable and immediately singable, the midtempo Your Love Awakens Me takes a few pointers from Wickham’s smash No.2 hit, This is Amazing Grace: the anthemic chorus, the frantic synths, the soaring prechorus, the massive bridge. Its theme of delight in the love of God is something that Christian AC and CCM lovers everywhere should relate to quickly, and, altogether, Your Love Awakens Me is a sublime single that I think should handily replicate the success of its predecessor. Well-done, Mr. Wickham.
YOUR LOVE AWAKENS ME Lyrics
There were walls between us
By the cross you came
And broke them down
You broke them down
There were chains around us
By Your grace we are
No longer bound
No longer bound
You called me out from the grave
You called me into the light
You called my name and then my heart came alive
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
Feel the darkness shaking
All the dead are coming
Back to life
Back to life
Hear the song awaken
All creation singing
We’re alive
Cause You’re alive
You called me out from the grave
You called me into the light
You called my name and then my heart came alive
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
What a love we found
Death can’t hold us down
We shout it out
We’re alive
Cause you’re alive
[x3]
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens, awakens, awakens me
Your love awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens
Awakens
Awakens me
