I needed a wake-up call

From Natalie Grant (to my heart): This song really represents where I've been, and it also makes me realize that I never want to get to the place where I stop waking up to something new. I hope this song encourages others to wake up-maybe to some things kept silent, dreams unfulfilled, fears, insecurities, or something someone has been shutting out, pretending it doesn't exist. It's okay to wake up to those things and let our God turn them into good.

AWAKEN
Sometimes I feel like I'm just existing
I'm not really living
I'm only watching the time slip away
I've forgotten who I am in you
I'm not who I'm meant to be
I'm drifting farther away from my destiny

Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, Lord
Awaken me

My soul is longing, my heart is searching
I'm desperate for you to move
Give me a hunger, pull me closer
I'm crying out to you
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, Lord

Open my eyes so I can see your presence
Dwelling inside
Wake me up, cause I can't live another minute
If I'm not shining your light
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken the passion in me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me

Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, to live for you
Wake me up Lord, give me the passion, Jesus
I want to live for you

This is one of my favorite songs. I really love Natalie Grant. The first time I heard of her was when I heard "Held". She definitely has a gift with words.
