Prelude
True Worshippers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the light of the dawn till i sleep
Let me sing of your love and your mercies
Come awake oh my soul, i will praise him
There is one thing i ask, one thing i seek
That i may dwell in the house of my king
Better one day in your house than a thousand elsewhere
Come awake oh my soul, i will praise him
For the love of my christ above all
Let my jesus, my savior be my joy
Come awake oh my soul i will praise him
The lyrics of True Worshippers’ song Prelude are a passionate call to worship and praise God. The first line “Come awake oh my soul, come and praise him” is a wake-up call to the soul, urging it to rise up and burst into spontaneous worship. The use of the word “awake” suggests that the soul is asleep or dormant, and needs to be roused to a state of active worship. The second line “From the light of the dawn till I sleep” emphasizes that worship is not just a one-time event but a continuous act that should permeate every moment of our lives.
The third line “Let me sing of your love and your mercies” sets the tone for the song, which is a celebration of God’s love and mercy. The word “sing” suggests joy and exaltation, while “love” and “mercies” imply kindness and compassion. The fourth line “Come awake oh my soul, I will praise him” repeats the opening line, reinforcing the idea that worship is an ongoing and dynamic activity.
The second stanza of the song focuses on the desire to be in God’s presence, as expressed in the lines “There is one thing I ask, one thing I seek, that I may dwell in the house of my king, Better one day in your house than a thousand elsewhere.” This longing is rooted in a deep appreciation of the value of God’s presence, which is greater than any material wealth or worldly success.
Overall, Prelude is a declaration of love, adoration, and devotion to God, and an encouragement to every listener to awaken their soul to the beauty of worship.
