Chicago Grace Notes - Stir Up the Promise Lyrics

In the quiet of the morning light, we gather here in faith
Sinners saved by grace, hearts in need, we seek your face
We're standing at the dawn of Advent, a season of new birth
God shine your light within, let your love renew the earth

Stir up our hearts, Lord, remind us again
Of your promise, your coming, beyond human ken
Let not monotony, make our spirits dim
For in your perfect time, you'll come to redeem

We walk this world complacent, forgetting your profound grace
Too often blind to the signs, that your coming will embrace
But Peter wrote to warn us, from complacency to wake
To live with urgent hearts, for our very souls' sake

Stir up our hearts, Lord, remind us again
Of your promise, your coming, beyond human ken
Let not monotony, make our spirits dim
For in your perfect time, you'll come to redeem

Days like a thousand years, a thousand years a day
In your eternal view, Lord teach us your way
May we remember, your truth steadfast and strong
That you are coming soon, and it won't be long

Stir up our hearts, Lord, remind us again
Of your promise, your coming, beyond human ken
Let not monotony, make our spirits dim
For in your perfect time, you'll come to redeem
