Gotta give gotta give my life away
Gotta live for You all day
Gotta wake up gotta wake up the world
Gotta give gotta give You all of me
Gotta shout Your Name all day
Gotta wake up gotta wake up the world
All through the world Your light burns bright
And through my soul You’re shining
And in my heart Lord take control take control
And now You’ve changed me through and through
I’ll walk my streets Lord shouting You
You made me new You made me new
We’re charging through the night
We give our lives to fight
We’ll shake the earth with our praise
We live for something higher
So fill us with Your fire
We’ve gotta wake up gotta wake up
Wake up the world
David Moore
