Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by

A week of toil and labor
Has left my spirit dry
My daily meditation
Has silently slipped by
I need a restoration
Of my spirit here today
So open up the heavens
As I lift my voice in praise

I enter in the church door.
And I hear the choir sing
Amazing grace how see the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I marvel at God’s mercy
And I feel my spirit soar
Hallelujah is the chorus
That the choir has in store

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by

The congregation sings
And they lift their worship high
I can feel the Spirit moving
As King Jesus passes by
My spirit is uplifted
I feel revival here
Being in thus corporate worship
Is exactly what I need

So I lift my voice to praise Him
That He brought me to this place
There’s no substitute for worship
With the saints who seek His face

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by
