Lord as we turn to You
Come free us from our sin
We only have today
So let us now begin
From dawn to dusk
We are waking up
From dawn to dusk
We are waking up
Tomorrow's freedom is today's surrender
We come before You lay our burdens down
We look to You as our hearts remember
You are the only God
You are our only God
Lord as we give You more
Your Spirit swells within
'Cause You are holy holy Lord
So let us now begin
From dawn to dusk
We are waking up
From dawn to dusk
We are waking up
Tomorrow's freedom is today's surrender
We come before You lay our burdens down
We look to You as our hearts remember
You are the only God
You are our only God
Ooh yeah ooh oh ooh ooh ooh
Tomorrow's freedom is today's surrender
We come before You lay our burdens down
We look to You as our hearts remember
You are the only God
You are our only God
Tomorrow's freedom is today's surrender
We come before You lay our burdens down
We look to You as our hearts remember
You are the only God
You are our only God
"Dawn To Dusk" by All Sons and Daughters is a beautiful and uplifting song that speaks to the heart of surrender and seeking God's presence from morning till night. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a desire to live fully in the present moment, recognizing that tomorrow's freedom is found in today's surrender.
The song begins with a plea to the Lord, asking Him to free us from our sins as we turn to Him. It acknowledges that we only have today, the present moment, to live out our faith and begin anew. This echoes the biblical truth found in Psalm 118:24, which says, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." It reminds us that each day is a gift from God and an opportunity to draw closer to Him.
From the opening lines, the song sets a tone of awakening and surrendering to God. It encourages us to wake up both physically and spiritually, to be fully present and engaged in our relationship with Him. This echoes the words of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:14, where he writes, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." It is a call to live in the light of Christ and to embrace the new life He offers us.
Throughout the song, there is a repeated chorus of "From dawn to dusk, we are waking up." This phrase captures the essence of the song's message – a daily commitment to seek God's presence and surrender to His will. It reminds me of the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33, where He says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." It is a reminder that our first priority should be seeking God and His kingdom, and everything else will fall into place.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of surrendering our burdens to God. They encourage us to come before Him and lay our worries, fears, and struggles at His feet. This echoes the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, where He says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." It is a reminder that we can find true rest and peace in surrendering our cares to Him.
The song concludes with a declaration that God is the only God, the one we look to and remember in our hearts. It reminds me of Deuteronomy 6:4, which says, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." It is a powerful reminder that we serve a God who is faithful, loving, and worthy of our worship.
In conclusion, "Dawn To Dusk" by All Sons and Daughters is a powerful and inspiring song that calls us to live fully in the present moment, seeking God's presence and surrendering our burdens to Him. Its lyrics draw from biblical truths and encourage us to awaken to God's love and grace from morning till night. May this song serve as a reminder to live each day with surrender and devotion to our only God.
