"Indeed if we consider the unblushing promise of reward and the staggering nature of
the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires
not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures like an ignored child who
wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant
by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." - C.S. Lewis
I never did like the word mediocre
I never wanted it to be said of me, oh, no
Just point me to the top and I'd go over, over
Looking for the very best that could be
So what is this thing I see
Going on inside of me?
When it comes to the grace of God
Sometimes it's like ...
I'm playing Gameboy standing in the middle of the Grand Canyon
I'm eating candy sittin' at a gourmet feast
I'm wading in a puddle when I could be swimming in the ocean
Tell me what's the deal with me
(I know the time has come for me too)
Wake up and see the glory
Every star in the sky tells His story, oh
And every breeze is singing His song
All of creation is imploring
Hey, come see this grand phenomenon
The wonder of His grace
Should take my breath away
I miss so many things when I'm content with ...
How could I trivialize it
This awesome gift of God's grace?
Once I have come to realize it
I should be speechless and amazed
Wake up and see the glory
Open your eyes and take it in
Wake up and be amazed
Over and over again
God's love is calling to you and me
Wake up, wake up
Open your eyes, yeah
Over and over again
Wake up
Come on take it in
