Awake My Soul
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

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 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!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
