Lyrics:
Written by Amanda Cook / Steffany Gretzinger / Jason Ingram

Verse 1
Stuck inside a house I built
Locked the doors and closed the shutters
With no strength left to cry for help
I hid in bed under the covers

Verse 2
Stuck inside a shade of blue
Sadness was my only comfort
I didn’t know that only You
Could fill my world with all the colors

Chorus
This is my awakening
That while my heart was fast asleep
You were resurrecting me

I thought that I would never breathe
I thought the pain would never leave
But You’re redeeming everything

Verse 3
Now there’s a dawn at every turn
You speak to me in new beginnings
A ray of sun to heal the hurt
The music stops but You’re still singing

Chorus 2
This is my awakening
I’m never going back to sleep
How could I after what I’ve seen

This is my awakening
There’s color now in everything
Color now in everything

Hearing this song really reminds me that there are so many other believers that experience the same pain, loss, and sense of hopelessness. So many moments i had ignorantly brushed off things like anxiety and depression, claiming that those that experienced these things just needed to understand how good God is. But boy was I so far off from the truth. It’s so much more than knowing, but it’s about understanding and ACCEPTING that God wants to save you in every situation. If he sent his perfect son to die for the world while we were yet sinners, how heavy do you imagine his desire to release the salvation is? Do you think he would withhold the whole his goodness from our bad situations if those situations are the very thing he came to crush? It’s so real that he brings color to EVERY SINGLE THING you let him grab hold of. He did it for YOU.

I’ve learned that God loves you so much that he created you so that you could experience his love even though he knew you would face really hard times in your life. That means he weighs his love GREATER than pain we feel, even though it feels otherwise when we take our eyes off Jesus. The same furious love that calms that storm calms my heart and mind everyday. I’ve learned we can’t physically get into our mind and reset it. Only the Holy Spirit can change the inside. It’s a spiritual battle, and it goes beyond self help. But thank Thank GOD that he LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND HE WONT EVER WITHHOLD HIMSELF FROM YOU. Just cry out. Just cry out and know that he rescues you every moment.

Amanda Cook is so spectacularly gifted. I am so grateful that she is willing to share her gifts with all of us.

God broke me out of my shell today. Today my healing begins. A new fresh beginning with the creator. Years in pain and suffering all my life, choosing many paths but each one led me closer to you my God. Each one led me to my awakening! I can’t stop watching this on repeat!! I can be myself now. I can live because he lives, he sees past my pain, , my pain is what brought me to him, , I would never know his love for me if not for the pain. Thank you God for setting me free today!

Everything I’ve been feeling for the last 4 years from fighting cancer 3 times. May God continue to use you Amanda. 😭🦋

[forerunner]

Wow.. I know what this feels like.. I'm part of our church worship team, but sometimes on that platform you can feel a hundred miles away when you are carrying a heaviness no one knows about.. Things you carry and cannot share.. Just brokenness.. Deep pain and things you cannot share with anyone but God.. And sometimes even He has felt far off and unreachable so many times.. But then after the long season of night the faint thin blue line of dawn will start to glow .. I'm walking it out even now.

[ketsiagopaul]

Micah 7:8 - NKJV:
''Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me.''
This song reminds me of this beautiful verse..God always has the final say.. Jesus is GOOD!

[lomelove]

Anybody who battled depression would understand n relate to this beautiful piece🌱❤

Thank you Amanda Cook❤

[JinglesforJesus]

I encountered God & was born again 5 years ago and this was my song. I'm never going back to sleep. I love you Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour. ✝🕊💛

[Samson]

I am a gay guy who battles with darkness everyday. Feeling depressed and been throwing myself the pity party everyday...I am able to wake up everyday to carry on just because i trust God will lead me on and i believe in his continuity and eternal hope. Therefore, i live on.

Prayers are much appreciated guys.

[sammy]

This song really speaks to me. When you battle depression it’s hard to leave the bed. I wear a mask almost all the time. Because I don’t want others sad.

[taegankonz]

tomorrow marks one year of freedom and breakthrough from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts that I struggled with for about 10 months. Thank you for this beautiful anthem Amanda, and may God awaken the hearts and souls of millions in this new decade.

[artsynahnah]

This broke so many of my barriers. Lies that I believed for a while. God broke them and gave me Love in exchange. It’s so hard to trust when so many people have proven untrustworthy. But God will never hurt me or leave me and that is what I’m learning. He’s not a robot or a bland God. He’s the father of lights, redeemer of men. Lover of my soul. I love you Abba. This is my awakening 💕

[Verse 1]
Stuck inside a house I built
Locked the doors and closed the shutters
With no strength left to cry for help
I hid in bed under the covers

[Verse 2]
Stuck inside a shade of blue
Sadness was my only comfort
I didn't know that only You
Could fill my world with all the colors

[Chorus]
This is my awakening
That while my heart was fast asleep
You were resurrecting
Me
I thought that I would never breathe
I thought the pain would never leave
But you're redeeming
Everything

[Verse 3]
Now there's a dawn at every turn
You speak to me in new beginnings
A ray of sun to heal the hurt
The music stops but You're still singing

[Chorus]
This is my awakening
I'm never going back to sleep
How could I after what I've seen
This is my awakening
There's color now in everything
Color now in everything
This is my awakening
I'm never going back to sleep
How could I after what I've seen
This is my awakening
There's color now in everything
Color now in everything

[DoctorRaga]

There is a beautiful hidden meaning behind the lyrics and video of this song. For those of you who are aware of the Law of Assumption and the power of imagination (also metaphorically mentioned several times in scripture), will easily relate to her saying "This is my awakening. I am never going back to sleep" and the image of her dancing indoors while "assuming" to be doing the same outdoors in the woods... Beautiful!

[amygordon]

I can't stop listening to this! Gives me chills. Perfectly says what someone with chronic depression feels like. Shutting yourself away from the world but longing for Jesus to take awat the pain.
