Wake Me Lord
by Willy Schwarz

Wake me lord, shake me lord
From my slumber take me lord
Thine own flute, please make me lord
To play thy sweetest melody

Time and time again I’ve tried
To go it alone on no-one’s side
But I must always give up my pride
Every time I see the rising sun

(Chorus)
Hear me lord please steer me lord
Like a drifting ship at sea
I am lost please steer me lord
All directions lead to thee (repeat)

You can make the flowers grow
Through the freezing wind and snow
Let your breath through this reed blow
And play thy sweetest melody
Though it seems I never see
All my joy comes from thee
Still you let each person be
The cause of their own loneliness
From my youth my whole life through
I’ve always loved the thought of you
And I will try to serve you too
Whether you exist or not

(Chorus)

Broad the road that leads to death
And millions walk together there
But wisdom shows a narrow path
With here and there a traveler
