AWAKENING
The Glorious Unseen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have we hurt You far too much?
Do You still look down in love?
Is Your grace still strong enough?
God, we would ask that Your kingdom would come
And be poured out on earth as we stand here in awe
God, hear our cry for awakening here
Is Your love for us in vain?
Do You look at us in shame?
Do You hear when we curse Your name?
And how can You still love us the same?
God, we would ask that Your kingdom would come
And be poured out on earth as we stand here in awe
God, hear our cry for awakening here
Will You take away pain? Will You take away fear?
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
The lyrics of "Awakening" by The Glorious Unseen express a deep longing for God's presence and mercy in spite of the human failings and shortcomings. The song opens with questions about whether God has turned away from us due to our actions or is still present with us in love and grace. The singer then goes on to ask for God's kingdom to come and bring an awakening to the earth, a renewal of faith and hope. The second verse delves deeper into the human condition of questioning God's love and wondering how He could still love us in spite of our sins. The song then ends with a repeated “Hallelujah” chorus of praise to God, a recognition of His ultimate sovereignty and power.
Overall, the message of the song is one of humility, asking for God's intervention and mercy in a world where pain and fear often reign. The singer recognizes our human failings and acknowledges the need for a greater power to make things right. The repetition of "God, hear our cry for awakening here, will you take away pain? will you take away fear?" emphasizes the desperate plea for a divine intervention and a renewed sense of hope and faith.
