Alexander Pappas Releases New Version Of “A Great Awakening”
Today (Jun 7), world-renowned worship leader and songwriter Alexander Pappas releases a new version of “A Great Awakening.” “A Great Awakening,” which dropped in April of this year, was the first solo worship song Pappas released after serving as part of Young & Free and Hillsong.
“The phrase ‘A Great Awakening’ carries an unusual resonance, not because it lacks roots in biblical language, but rather due to the powerful connections it evokes,” describes Alexander Pappas of this new song. “Initially, your thoughts may drift towards monumental spiritual revivals such as Azusa Street, The Welsh Revival, or the Jesus People Movement.
Moments which when I think about them, stir an overwhelming sensation within my spirit that this world we live in is desperate for another move of God. Dare I say, NEEDS it.”

Pappas is not new to creating songs that resonate with the worshipper as a two-time GRAMMY nominee, he has penned anthems like “Alive,” “Wake,” “Real Love,” and “Echo” (Elevation Worship). Leading worship for more than a decade, this song is a return to a passion for the next awakening.
He adds, “While I remain uncertain whether a song—this song, which is a prayer in melody—has the power to ignite such a great awakening, I am firm in the belief that true revival begins individually—with me, with you. I pray that this song sparks within us a profound longing for the next unmistakable move of God.”
