When I Wake Up

Wrote this one processing the loss of loved ones in recent years, Kate's dad, Peter, and our dear friend and congregant, Kae. I was thinking about how they are enjoying the fulfillment of all of God's promises to us...the realization of their faith. Can’t wait to see them again!

Lyrics:

I may not have the finer things

Not a rich man or a king

Even still my heart will sing

Of the hope of home with you

A sinful heart with a simple hope

To live again when my last breath goes

The only treasure a dead man knows

Is to wake up again with you

Chorus:

When I wake up I will sing again

When I wake up and you bring me in

The saints will cry he’s born again

When I wake up with you

Here I lie as the lights all fade

I can’t believe there’s no more wait

No regrets and no plans to make

Just one more step home to you

Bridge:

I will see you with my own two eyes

I will hear your voice and be satisfied

For all the years my ears had tried

I will finally be home with you
