The song "Awakening" by Passion/Chris Tomlin is a prayer for revival and renewal not just in the singer's heart but also in the nation. The lyrics "In our hearts, Lord, in this nation, Awakening, Holy Spirit, we desire, awakening" convey the desire for a spiritual rejuvenation within themselves and the land they inhabit. The prayer continues with the request for God's presence and power, recognizing that only He can bring the necessary transformation. The line "For You and You alone, awake my soul, awake my soul and sing" expresses the realization that all worship should be directed towards God alone.
The second verse of the song builds upon the first by emphasizing the importance of the current moment in bringing about the awakening. The words "For this moment, for this hour, awakening" highlight the need for an immediate response to God's call. The chorus is repeated twice, each time strengthening its message of surrendering to God's will and being a vessel for His work in the world. As the song progresses, it speaks of the transformation that comes from encountering God's light and hearing His voice. The repeated line "Like the rising sun that shines, awake my soul, awake my soul and sing" likens the experience of awakening to the dawn of a new day, where darkness is replaced by light and hope.

Powerful POWERFUL song. During the Hillsong Conference when they were playing this song I believed from the bottom of my heart for the very first time that God was able to do exceedingly more than we can ever ask for and think of and I just believed that He was gonna turn our city up side down when I would go back to my country and that were was gonna be an absolutely great awakening. God is able <3

This song has become one of our youth groups favourite worship songs. It is great to see young people raise their hands in praise of our wonderful God.

This year for our Church camp our theme was Awaken. I was truly move by our speaker and the worship sessions that we had. God truly awakened me and was clearly calling me to come back to him. This song speaks so much about how how God can do all things and about how he "awakens" us
