Rise From Deep Slumber

R-ise from deep slumber, O-pen your eyes to love; W-ake up from the bed, E-njoy the light from above. N-ight cold chill is gone, as the sun starts to shine; A-pril thirtieth morn lets the new day break so fine. A-scend from the ground, P-ay attention to faith; O-pen your heart to trust, S-oar toward heaven's gate. T-arry not in running the race O-f life on to salvation; L-et dark be bathed with hope, to keep away from oblivion. A-larm your mind from sleep, L-ook up in the blue sky; A-llow not clouds to gather, M-ake them flee up high. O-pen your soul to God, just always say a prayer; N-ever stay in the pit of black, rise from deep slumber.
