Come Awaken Love
Bethel Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a fire in the night
Who’s flames reach and touch the sky
Burn within my soul and mind
‘Till all I see are Your eyes
Like the dawn takes back the light
Like Your Son brought back to life
Resurrect my soul’s desire
To burn again with true love’s fire
With true love’s fire

Lord God come awaken love
Come stir my soul to long for all You are
I’m desperate just to have more of Your heart
Come awaken love

‘Cause I live to love You
Almighty God of love
And my desire is to know you
And give you all my heart

Lord God come awaken love
Come stir my soul to long for all You are




I’m desperate just to have more of Your heart
Come awaken love

My church plays this song over the speakers every morning while we're waiting for service to start. I really like it and I just now got around to finding it for myself.

This song cheers me up..the past few days have been a nightmare for me. I had a dream last night, and in short, about God shielding me from fire and shrapnel from a giant ball of fire from a bomb. It felt so real, I saw myself almost engulfed in fire, yet unharmed because God was with me :)

@grace-christineperemot8965

Together we will turn tides! No matter the storm, no matter the chaos, your LOVE remains! :)
