Lyrics for Awakening By Amanda Lindsey Cook

Verse 1
Stuck inside a house I built
Locked the doors and closed the shutters
With no strength left to cry for help
I hid in bed under the covers

Verse 2
Stuck inside a shade of blue
Sadness was my only comfort
I didn’t know that only You
Could fill my world with all the colors

Chorus
This is my awakening
That while my heart was fast asleep
You were resurrecting me

I thought that I would never breathe
I thought the pain would never leave
But You’re redeeming everything

Verse 3
Now there’s a dawn at every turn
You speak to me in new beginnings
A ray of sun to heal the hurt
The music stops but You’re still singing

Chorus 2
This is my awakening
I’m never going back to sleep
How could I after what I’ve seen

This is my awakening
There’s color now in everything
Color now in everything
