Poem: Dear Soul, Awake from Your Slumber

Soul, please awake from your slumber.

Are you alive? Do you hunger?

For the righteousness of your King

Who triumphed over death’s sharp sting.

Soul, please awake from your slumber.

Are you alive? Do you hunger?

For the graciousness of your Savior

Who died for your sinful behavior.

Soul, please awake from your slumber.

Are you alive? Do you hunger?

For the justice of your God Yahweh

Who commands each of us to obey.

Soul, please awake from your slumber.

Are you alive? Do you hunger?

For the love found in El Shaddai

Who will always stand by our side.
