The third installment to the Casting Crowns visual album has landed with the incredible video for ‘Awaken Me.’ This incredible worship band is the first Christian artist or group to release a concept video for every song on their album. Utilizing twelve tracks, each video will continue the story of a family’s journey through life. Before you watch part three, be sure to check out the second installment, ‘Nobody.’
“Lord, wake up this sleeper
I lift my head, I lift my head
Your searchlights found me
Here at my end, I’m at my end
Lord, let Your fire make holy these lips unclean
Shine down in all Your glory, awaken me
Lord, let Your fire make holy these lips unclean
Shine down in all Your glory, awaken me”
In the previous video, a husband has gone off to war and left his pregnant wife at home. While apart, he continues to send her letters and care packages. There are even notes to his unborn son to read at a later time. Even though the woman is lonely, she takes comfort in his words and the love that they share. But everything changes when two uniformed men arrive at her door unannounced. This earth-shattering revelation will test this woman’s faith in God like never before.
Now, more than ever, she must lean on His Word and trust that God has a plan for everything. These first three parts from Casting Crowns are already so powerful. I am looking forward to seeing the continued journey of this family.
