Lyrics
[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Enslaved by sin, we bore the cost
Enslaved by sin, we bore the cost
Our hearts were bound, all hope was lost
Our hearts were bound, all hope was lost
Then Jesus called us by His name
Then Jesus called us by His name
And freed us from our guilt and shame
And freed us from our guilt and shame
[Chorus]
The time for dreams has gone away
With faith, we rise to seize the day
We have awakened in Christ
We have awakened in Christ
[Verse 2]
The River of Life flows through our veins
The River of Life flows through our veins
His mercy heals our deepest pains
His mercy heals our deepest pains
His love restores what once was lost
His love restores what once was lost
His blood has paid the final cost
His blood has paid the final cost
[Chorus]
The time for dreams has gone away
With faith, we rise to seize the day
We have awakened in Christ
We have awakened in Christ
[Bridge]
We share the river's stream with the broken
Praying their souls will be awoken
Let it wash over their pain and sorrow
And lead them to a brighter tomorrow
[Chorus]
The time for dreams has gone away
With faith, we rise to seize the day
We have awakened in Christ
We have awakened in Christ
[Fade to End]
