Lyrics

When I Wake Up
Words and Music By William Epps
May 15, 2000

Will I wake up in the promised land
When I’ve run my hardest and done all I can
Bathe my brow in the blood of the lamb when I wake up

Will I wake up and know that He
Waited and watched over me
Wipe the world from my eyes and clearly see when I wake up

(When I wake up) And when I’m home again
(When I wake up) See your face my friend
(When I wake up) Wrap your arms and let me in when I wake up

When I wake up will I see your eyes
Smiling the moment I rise
Touch your face so warm and wise when I wake up

When I wake up will I finally feel
That I’ve left behind what I thought was so real
Free my mind from this endless wheel when I wake up

Come take my heart and soul
Love and make me whole
Let it be like I’ve been told when I wake up
And when I’m almost there
Handle me with loving care
And I’ll never leave I swear when I wake up
Love take this heart in chains
Once so proud and once so vain
Let it live and love again When I wake up

I’ve made up my mind
Leave this world behind
Take my heart and soul
Love and make me whole
Let the world stand still And it will
