Awake, My Soul

While the wild roses sleep
My trembling soul awakes
In shadows of the deep

Images surround me
Blinding my perception
With choking vanity

Deceiving lying weeds
May winds blow you away
Your lacy white misleads

When trust's doorway closes
Let my tears rain upon
The softness of roses

Only the truth is kind
Let honesty kiss me
Leaving facade behind

Awake, awake my soul
Rise up, reach for the light
Leave this tenebrous hole

Let the sweet air embrace
This moment to live free
In His beautiful grace

With the touch of Your wings
You awaken my soul
Till it quivers and sings

Illuminate my mind
Let life pulsate through me
Keep heart and soul entwined

Open my inward eyes
Lift from earthly concerns
To morning's hopeful skies

I love Your sparkling shine
You've wrapped around my soul
Eternal Golden Vine

Let the wild roses sleep
My trembling soul believes
My senses dance and leap
