Awake My Soul
This arrangement is pretty true to how we play this song live. Guitars and vocals. This hymn was was my first attempt at writing both words and music, and it was meant to sound like an old hymn. I followed some of the characteristics of my favorites as a guide, and this was the end result.
Lyrics
1. The image of God invisible
The firstborn of all life
Before and within,
He holds it all in
One name, one faith, one Christ
Chorus: No one is good enough
To save himself
Awake my soul tonight
To boast nothing else
2. I trust no other source or name
Nowhere else can I hide
This grace gives me fear,
and this grace draws me near
And all that it asks it provides
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge: No seam in this garment
All my rags to hide
No less than your love
For Jesus is mine
3. When I stand on the edges of Jordan
With the saints and the angels beside
When my body is healed
and the glory revealed
Then still I can boast only Christ
(Repeat chorus twice)
