"Come Alive" from The Greatest Showman

You stumble through your days
Got your head hung low
Your sky's a shade of grey
Like a zombie in a maze
You're asleep inside
But you can shake awake

'Cause you're just a dead man walkin'
Thinkin' that's your only option
But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color's blinding
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind
You'll never be the same

Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reachin' up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified

When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again
To the world that you were living in
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
So, come alive (whoa)

I see it in your eyes
You believe that lie
That you need to hide your face
Afraid to step outside
So you lock the door
But don't you stay that way

No more living in those shadows
You and me we know how that goes

'Cause once you see it, oh, you'll never, never be the same

We will be the light that's turning
Bottle up but keep on shining

You can prove there's more to you

You cannot be afraid

Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reachin' up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified

When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
So, come alive

What about you? Have you ever felt that way?

It's been proven that worshipping God, even in the midst of a storm, can bring life to your soul. That's because Praise is prophetic!

The modern-day Worship Leader is one of the primary prophets of our day.

“When we worship, our focus shifts from our problems to God's power.” Andrae Crouche

"Any fool can sing in the day. … The skillful singer is he who can sing when there is not a ray of light to read by—songs in the night come only from God; they are not in the power of man." Charles Spurgeon
perissos: over and above, more than is necessary, extraordinary, surpassing, uncommon

"If you want to come alive, you've got to prophesy!"
You have a mind, body, soul, and spirit.

Your soul is more physical. Your spirit is more spiritual.

Hebrew - ruah: breath. spirit
Greek - pneuma: breath, spirit

Only the spirit of God can bring new life to His people. It's supernatural!

Prophetes: a poet (because poets were believed to sing under divine inspiration)

Because Praise is Prophetic!
