Awake, My Soul

Verse 1:

Why should my heart in pain and sorrow grieve?
Why should I let affliction wound my soul?
Why should I anger at the mocking crowds who don't believe
Or waver as I strive to reach my goal?

Verse 2:

I know the Lord has strengthened me with might
And healed me 'neath the Spirit's calming wings.
I know he hears my cry by day and visits me by night.
With gratitude and confidence, I sing:

Chorus:

Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin.
Rejoice, my heart, and rise up from the dust.
Though enemies encompass me, through righteousness I'll win.
I know it's Christ the Lord in whom I trust.
