Lyrics Wake the Dead - John Schlitt
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Take
up
the
call
and
carry
His
commission
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Don't
be
content
and
just
walk
away
Wake
up!
There's
a
job
to
be
done
You've
got
a
calling
that
you
haven't
begun
For
too
long
you've
been
coasting
along
You
think
salvation
is
the
end
of
it
all
(The
fields
are
ready
but
the
workers
few)
You're
not
heeding
the
call
(It's
time
the
body
starts
to
shout
the
news)
And
wake
the
world
up
to
God's
invitation
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Take
up
the
call
and
carry
His
commission
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Don't
be
content
and
just
walk
away
There's
too
much
to
do
to
just
walk
away
SOLO
Darkness
blinds
a
new
generation
Searching
for
its
place
Banished
by
their
own
choice
of
living
From
His
shining
grace
(But
even
with
such
hardened
hearts)
God
cares
that
they
will
be
found
(He
had
a
plan
right
from
the
start)
To
break
their
chains
by
His
testimony
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Don't
be
complacent
with
your
own
salvation
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Got
to
lead
the
lost
searching
for
their
way
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Take
up
the
call
and
carry
His
commission
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Don't
be
content
and
just
walk
away
There's
too
much
to
do
to
just
walk
away
Walk
away...
SOLO
(The
fields
are
ready
but
the
workers
few)
You're
not
heeding
the
call
(It's
time
the
body
starts
to
shout
the
news)
And
wake
the
world
up
to
God's
invitation
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Take
up
the
cross
and
carry
His
commission
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Don't
be
content
and
just
walk
away
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Don't
be
complacent
with
your
own
salvation
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Got
to
lead
the
lost
searching
for
their
way
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Take
up
the
call
and
carry
His
commission
Wake
the
dead,
wake
the
dead
Don't
be
content
and
just
walk
away
There's
too
much
to
do
to
just
walk
away.
