Here are the lyrics:
Come broken and weary
Come battered and bruised
My Jesus makes all things new
All things newCome lost and abandoned
Come blown by the wind
He’ll bring you back home again
Home againRise up, O you sleeper, awake
The dawn is upon you
Rise up, O you sleeper, awake
He makes all things new
All things newCome burning with shame
Come frozen with guilt
My Jesus, he loves you still
Loves you stillRise up, O you sleeper, awake
The dawn is upon you
Rise up, O you sleeper, awake
He makes all things new
He makes all things newThe world was good
The world is fallen
The world will be redeemedSo hold on to the promise
The stories are true
That Jesus makes all things new
(The dawn is upon you)
Words by Andrew Peterson

Tags: Sleepless this Thursday with the Lord
It’s late.
It was Thursday that the Sovereign of the universe was being taken back and forth throughout the night to 6 mock trials. He was handled by men. He was willing.
There was no more rest for Him, for His hour had come. We cannot watch and pray. We cannot understand. We cannot do anything apart from Him – and He was laying down His life.
In glory, He never rests. On earth He took on gravity. This night marked the end of His earthly rest until His body would submit to lifelessness – still and heavy. We did that. He was willing.
It’s late. I will sleep tonight, though – because that night was His hour; that night He rested not; that night He was handled by men; that night He was willing; that night He redeemed me; that night He hinged history and bent it all back to the Garden.
He did it all while we slept.
