Be on the Lookout

A Seed, A Sunrise: Advent to Christmas Songs

Nov 20

Lyrics

Chorus:
Lift up your head
Be on the lookout
Wake from your bed
Don’t fall asleep

Lift up your head
He’s comin’ soon now
Get yourself ready
For the comin’ of the King

Verse 1:
Could a mother forget her children
Could a husband forget his wife?
How much more then, will he remember,
Will He come and set things right!

Chorus

Verse 2:
Cast aside all the works of darkness
Live as children of the day
Light your lamps and keep them burnin’
Till we see our bridegroom’s face

Chorus

Verse 3:
See those fields, they’re ripe for harvest
See the work that’s left undone
Take to the world his love and justice
Singin’ “let his kingdom come!”
Oh let his kingdom come!

Chorus
