Lyrics:
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of thy unchanging love.
Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
Hither by thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering far from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, take and seal it,
Seal it to thy courts above.

After their successful debut, ‘Endless Light’ which released last year, Waken are back with more brilliant indie worship and we’re pleased to premiere the first of their new singles ‘Dwell’.
“Dwell is a very important song to us. This song and the others we tracked during these sessions came out of a very tumultuous time in our lives as we learned to lean on God in every circumstance. We hope that people will not only connect with this song on a musical level, but also on a deeper personal level as well.”

Lyrics:
Dwell in our hearts
Dwell in our hearts
You’re calling us near
We lift
Our eyes to You
We welcome You here
Come now
Fall down over us
Hopes alive it lives among us,
Reaching down You chose to save us
Rising sun defeating darkness
Your creation longs to know You more
Give us eyes to see the height
the depth, the width
of Your love

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see,
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home
If you get to heaven before I do,
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I’m coming too,
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home

Lyrics:
I will wait to see the day
Of your vine
Of your vine
Will you take to the hands of thine
This heart of mine
This heart of mine
There is a vineyard of the Lord
There is a vineyard for us all
With all our troubles left behind the door
We drink first light until the dawn
There is love
There is love
In the Lord
There is a forest built without the thorns
There is a vineyard of the Lord
We are all pillars in the store rooms of
His love and his mercy
There is love
There is love
In the Lord
Oh my soul oh my soul
Will drink you in will drink you in
So tell me Lord tell me Lord
Will you let me drink you in?
There is a vineyard of the Lord
There is a vineyard for us all
Well he’s burning up the clouds without remorse
Yeh they burn with his coming

Lyrics:
What fortune lies beyond the stars
Those dazzling heights too vast to climb
I got so high to fall so far
But I found heaven as love swept low
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
What treasure waits within Your scars
This gift of freedom gold can’t buy
I bought the world and sold my heart
You traded heaven to have me again
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground x3

If I leave here would you go with me
Where nobody can find, we can run and hide
From the shadow of the devils tree
Jump with me let’s take a dive
To the deep deep blue
To the deep deep
To the deep deep
I feel like Falling
To the deep deep blue
Where our fears are far away
Just me and you yeah
Falling
To the deep deep
Where we can breathe again
I’ll love you till the very end
I won’t let them take your soul
I’m gonna fight for your life, I will fight
Take my hand and don’t let go
Out of the dark and into the light

All of humankind
