Verse 1:
E5     E5          E5        F#5 G5
Wake up! There's a job to be done
E5            E5              E5       A5
You've got a calling that you haven't begun
    E5     E5            E5        F#5 G5
For too long you've been coasting along
E5            E5            E5       A5
You think salvation is the end of it all

Pre-Chorus:
G5                            F#5     A5
(The fields are ready but the workers few)
G5                      A5
You're not heeding the call
 C5                            B5       D5
(It's time the body starts to shout the news)
    C5       B5          A5       B5   C5
And wake the world up to God's invitation

Chorus:
E5       D#5   D5       C#5
Wake the dead, wake the dead

Take up the call and carry His commission
E5       D#5   D5       C#5
Wake the dead, wake the dead
C5          B5             A5
Don't be content and just walk away
C5          B5             A5
There's too much to do to just walk away

Verse 2:
E5     E5          E5     F#5 G5
Darkness blinds a new generation
E5        E5      A5
Searching for its place
E5       E5       E5            F#5 G5
Banished by their own choice of living
E5        E5      A5
From His shining grace

Pre-Chorus:
G5                  F#5     A5
God cares that they will be found
G5                      A5
(He had a plan right from the start)
 C5                        B5       D5
that His people turn their lives around
    C5       B5          A5   B5   C5
To break their chains by His testimony

Chorus:
E5       D#5   D5       C#5
Wake the dead, wake the dead
C5          B5             A5     B5 C5
Take up the call and carry His commission
E5       D#5   D5       C#5
Wake the dead, wake the dead
C5          B5             A5
Don't be content and just walk away
C5          B5             A5
There's too much to do to just walk away

You're not heeding the call
 C5                            B5       D5
(It's time the body starts to shout the news)
    C5       B5          A5       B5   C5
And wake the world up to God's invitation
