I Will Awaken the Dawn (Inspired by Psalm 57)

Upbeat classic Southern Gospel at 108 bpm, driven by bright piano leads and acoustic guitar rhythm, with upright bass and light drums underpinning, Tambourine lifts each chorus, handclaps add zest in the bridge, Lively male quartet harmonies shine, key modulates up for the final chorus, while the bass vocalist delivers rhythmic echo-repeats for dynamic texture

[Verse 1] My heart is steadfast, Lord, I sing, Your mercy fills the morning sky. In shadows deep, Your praises ring, Your faithfulness will never die. Though trouble’s near, my soul will rise, Your glory shines where fear is gone— I will sing among the nations, I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, Lift up my song till the night is gone! Your steadfast love is higher than the skies, Your faithfulness reaches high. My heart will sing, my hope lives on— I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, I will awaken the dawn! [Verse 2] Be exalted, Lord, above the earth, Let all creation lift Your name. You send Your mercy down like rain, Your truth forever stays the same. From cave to throne, from dark to day, Your light leads every song I’ve drawn— My soul will rise and praise Your name, I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, Lift up my song till the night is gone! Your steadfast love is higher than the skies, Your faithfulness reaches high. My heart will sing, my hope lives on— I will awaken the dawn! I will awaken the dawn! [Bridge (with bright harmony)] My heart is ready, my spirit strong, Morning comes, I’ll sing Your song. From every land, from every tongue, Your praises roll like the rising sun! [Final Chorus (key change, full harmony)] I will awaken the dawn, I will awaken the dawn, Lift up my song till the night is gone! Your steadfast love is higher than the skies, Your glory fills the morning wide! With every breath, till the new day’s drawn— I will awaken… awaken the dawn! I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, I will awaken the dawn! [Chorus] I will awaken the dawn, I will awaken the dawn.
