Awake my soul

Every now and then, I hear a song that stirs something inside me. I'm moved by music all the time but you know the songs that just make your insides ache in a really good way?! Well, 'Awake my soul' by Mumford and Sons is one such song for me and when I first heard it I thought, thats a real God song. I have no idea where this band stand on their belief in God or Jesus or if they have any but 'awake my soul' is a powerful lyric nonetheless. Even the style of their music; the rawness and simplicity of it draws me back to the small and feeble prayers of the human soul that I've uttered on so many occassions. One thing I do know is that Jesus loves our prayers even and especially when they are filled with questions! I hope you enjoy the video.


How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har, har har, har har

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker
