I have always believed that God shows himself both in the secular and the sacred, especially when it comes to both creation and the arts. I admit I am not at all a musician, but I enjoy music. I like many others have found a song by a group called Mumford and Sons to be deeply spiritual and powerful. I do not think it is intentionally Christian. It seems to attract people of all different faith perspectives and it has created some incredibly powerful conversations with those I know, especially those who do not have a relationship with Jesus. I am amazed at how God speaks and reveals his kingdom around, through, in and in spite of us. I encourage you to check the song out!
Lyrics to Awake My Soul :
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don’t know
My weakness I feel I must finally show
Lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I’ll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har
har har, har har
awake my soul…
awake my soul…
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don’t know
My weakness I feel I must finally show
Har har, har har
har har, har har
In these bodies we will live,
in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love,
you invest your life
In these bodies we will live,
in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love,
you invest your life
awake my soul…
awake my soul…
awake my soul…
For you were made to meet your maker
awake my soul…
awake my soul…
awake my soul…
For you were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker
