"Awake O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:14- " See the winter is past: the rains are over and gone, flowers appear on the earth, the season of singing has come." -Song of Solomon 2:11&12 -"Behold, I make all things new." -Revelation 2:15
lyrics
The winter is gone it's time to sing
The springtime has come arise arise arise
Awake oh sleeper shake off the dust
Arise and shine now for your light has come
Do not hide, do not hide
This road's been hard love- you've been so strong
Even in the silence you never gave up
Do not hide, do not hide
The winter is gone it's time to sing
The springtime has come arise arise arise
I never forgot you, you don't need to be afraid
You can lift your head now, come away love come away
Do not hide do not hide
The winter is gone it's time to sing
The springtime has come arise arise arise
I make all things new
The winter is gone it's time to sing
The springtime has come arise arise arise
