Awake
Hillsong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is a sound I love to hear
It's the sound of the Savior's robe
As He walks into the room where people pray
Where we hear praises He hears faith

There is a sound I love to hear
It's the sound of the Savior's robe
As He walks into the room where people pray
Where we hear worship He hears faith

Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

There is a sound that changes things
The sound of His people on their knees
Oh wake up you slumbering
It's time to worship Him

Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

And when He moves
And when we pray
Where stood a wall now stands a way
Where every promise is amen

And when He moves
Make no mistake
The bowels of hell begin to shake
All hail the Lord all hail the King

Hey oh
Oh let the King of glory enter in
Hey oh
Fall down on your knees and worship Him
Hey oh
Let His praise rise up don't hold it in

Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

Awake my soul and sing




Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

Just Me

I'm 66. I got invited to church by a classmate at age 12 in 6th grade. Had never been in a church. Those Words! The Beatitudes were like what the French call un "coup de foudre". A thunderbolt. Love at first sight. It was the Jesus movement and I had no idea. I began singing Scripture songs that began in my heart. I didn't know there was such a thing as Christian music. I have lost so much in this life. Heaven is so much sweeter today than it ever seemed to me before. Jesus is my Friend.

I lost my place, my girl and I broke up, and I was in deep pain from my friends betraying me. I started fasting and I only played this song for 4 days. I rededicated and surrendered my life to Jesus. It was through this video God spoke to me the most. I’ll never be the same. Yes I lost everything, but I gained so much more!!!!!

That does not sound healthy. Please don't do that to yourself

@Xanax boy I pray you also let your soul awaken to find the faithful love of Jesus enter into your heart. He will heal you too, raise you up too, and give you a life of so much more too! 🙏❤️🕊
