Verse 1:
Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep
A new day is dawning for all those who weep
The people in darkness have seen a great light
The Lord of our longing has conquered the nightChorus 1:
Let us build the city of God
May our tears be turned into dancing
For the Lord, our light and our love
Has turned the night into dayVerse 2:
We're sons of the morning, we are daughters of day
The one who has loved us has brightened our way
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
a light for his people to set their hearts freeChorus 2:
Let us build the city of God
May our tears be turned into dancing
For the Lord, our light and our love
Has turned the night into day
Father I Have Sinned
Verse 1:
Father I have sinned,
help me find my way.
Remember not my sins,
just let me hear you say:Chorus 1:
I forgive you, I love you
You are mine, take my hand.
Go in peace, sin no more,
Beloved one.Verse 2:
Father I have turned,
my back and walked away
Depended on my strength
and lived life my own wayChorus 2:
I forgive you, I love you
You are mine, take my hand.
Go in peace, sin no more,
Beloved one.Verse 3:
Father I have closed,
my heart to those in need.
Thought only of myself,
a victim of my greed.Chorus 3:
I forgive you, I love you
You are mine, take my hand.
Go in peace, sin no more,
Beloved one.Verse 4:
Father I’ve returned,
I’m home with you to stay.
Standing at your door,
knowing that you’ll sayChorus 4:
I forgive you, I love you
You are mine, take my hand.
Go in peace, sin no more,
Beloved one.
Softly And Tenderly Jesus Is Calling
Verse 1
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals, He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for meChorus 1
Come home, come home
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, for you to come home!Verse 2
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me?Chorus 2
Come home, come home
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, for you to come home!Verse 3
Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me!Chorus 3
Come home, come home
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, for you to come home!

Be the promise of our livesChorus 3:
