Worship leader and songwriter Alexander Pappas has released his first deluxe single with Integrity Music, titled "A Great Awakening - Live" in both English and Spanish. The English version includes Lakewood Music andJami Garcia, while the Spanish version, "Un Nuevo Despertar - Live," is with Lakewood Music Español and Ingrid Rosario. The song serves as a prayer for revival within the Church, as outlined in the Great Commission, and for non-believers who are coming to faith.

"This song was inspired by the great moves of God from the past and serves as a prayer for God to do it again, but in a way that the world has never seen," shares Alexander Pappas. "I hope to stir faith in people. I pray that they find freedom and joy in bringing their repentance before the Lord, accompanied by a profound revelation of the grace that flows together with repentance. May this song become their anthem of faith, a declaration on mountaintops and in valleys-a declaration of truth even when the schemes of hell and darkness seem overwhelming, instilling in hearts the truth that the enemy is indeed under His feet."

"A Great Awakening" has gained traction in churches around the world, especially in Australia, reaching a peak of No. 30 on their CCLI chart. This release with Integrity Music represents a new chapter for Pappas, who aims to write songs that are honest, Spirit-led, and crafted to draw people closer to the heart of God. Pappas aspires to create songs that the church can sing on Sundays and that boldly proclaim the Gospel.

He adds, "I have faith that we will witness a great move of God in our lifetime, one unlike any the world has ever seen!"
