Until Every Heart Awakens

Lyrics

[Intro]

Streetlights fade
Morning climbs the buildings
Another city opens its eyes

Buses roll
Storefront gates are lifting
But some souls are still asleep inside

[Verse 1]

There is a man beneath the overpass
Counting coins beside his name
There is a girl behind a locked door
Learning silence from her pain

There are families at the breakfast table
Too exhausted to explain
There are people dressed for Sunday
Who have forgotten why they came

Let Your truth enter the places
Where the polished answers fail
Let the ones who feel invisible
Know that heaven sees them well

[Pre-Chorus]

Do not let us keep the good news
Safe behind these walls

[Chorus]

Until every heart awakens
Until every shadow breaks
Let the sound of living mercy
Move through every street and place

Until every heart awakens
We will carry what we know
Love has found us
Love must send us
There are miles of hope to go

[Verse 2]

Let the wealthy hear the warning
That abundance is a trust
Let the powerful remember
Every throne returns to dust

Let the young refuse the poison
Sold as freedom without truth
Let the elders tell the stories
Of the roads You brought them through

Let the church become a doorway
Not a club with guarded seats
Let our worship find its meaning
In the people that we meet

[Pre-Chorus]

Make our faith more than a language
Make it visible in love

[Chorus]

Until every heart awakens
Until every shadow breaks
Let the sound of living mercy
Move through every street and place

Until every heart awakens
We will carry what we know
Love has found us
Love must send us
There are miles of hope to go

[Bridge]

Wake the conscience of the comfortable
Wake the courage of the kind
Wake the truth inside the fearful
Wake the mercy in our eyes

Turn the pulpit toward the broken
Turn the table toward the poor
Turn our songs into a shelter
Turn our blessings into doors

Let repentance reach the hidden
Let forgiveness cross the line
Let the gospel leave the building
And become a way of life

[Breakdown]

From the penthouse to the pavement
From the classroom to the cell
From the hospital at midnight
To the house where no one tells

Carry light
Carry bread
Carry truth
Carry hope

Until nobody is forgotten
Until everybody knows

[Final Chorus]

Until every heart awakens
Until every chain gives way
We will spend our lives announcing
There is mercy here today

Until every heart awakens
Until every tongue can say
Jesus found us
Jesus changed us
Jesus taught our feet the way

Until every heart awakens
We will not keep love contained
Let the city hear the good news
Let the neighborhood be changed

[Outro]

Streetlights fade
Morning climbs the buildings

Let a deeper morning rise

Until every heart awakens
Open every sleeping eye
