Awake My Soul Poem by Gary James Smith

AWAKE MY SOUL

Awake my soul to righteousness
And embrace the cause of Christ
Lift up that precious name of Jesus
Who became our Sacrifice
What hope He brings to needy hearts
That are hurt by sins destruction
He alone offers full forgiveness
Hallelujah He is the Resurrection

There's power in that precious name
Whom sin tried hard to conquer
But not to one was He beholden
Our great God and our Saviour
His love has not shrunk one bit
For still He loveth ever
His faithfulness to us assured
That faithfulness faileth never

So shape my heart and fit it, Lord
To follow after Thy will
To be obedient to Thy Word
And to seek the lost still
To be in prayer continuously
Waiting on the Holy Spirit
Listening for Thy still small voice
This is the way now hear it!
