lyrics

Chorus:
O come, o come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lowly exile here
Until the son of God appears

Verse 1:
Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus come
But when you return Lord I don't wanna to be the sleeping one

I wanna be prepared Lord with oil in my lamp at your gate
With my eyes watchful like a doorkeeper standing straight

Awake and alert not distracted by other things
'Cause subtly they can trouble me trying to keep me from loving thee

Help me to say yes humbly to you like our blessed lovely
Virgin Mother Mary who stands with the moon under her feet

So Lord help me always to be watchful a modern day apostle
Even though I'm unworthy help me proclaim your gospel

I pray I may be vigilant never to give in to the night
Awake oh sleeper rise from the dead Christ shall give you light

(Chorus)

Verse 2:

Lord, I come before you now with this humble confession
I struggle against the flesh that tries to keep my attention

I'm tattered and torn in a world full of affliction
Battered and worn, we fall back like it's an addiction.

I'm lost in a culture that's slowly losing all direction
That spreads it's chaos like it's a deadly infection

We forget about your mission and to strive for perfection
Help me be about your business, walk your paths and learn the lessons.

Awaken from the ashes, we your people down here asking
For the grace of perseverance and
For your life everlasting

Put your Spirit in our hearts so our souls will never be lacking.
We await the second coming with joy, prayer and fasting.

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Rejoice, rejoice. Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel x3

(Chorus)

The Uncut Diamondz Corpus Christi, Texas

Once upon a time, two God-fearin', hip-hop-lovin' Texan brothers came together to make a rap song. Today, they still roam the planet as The Uncut Diamondz.

Two albums later, they still strive to perfect their craft and pray that the Creator will use His two cracked mirrors to reflect His image. ... more
