1.

Dear soul, in your aimlessness driven around,
You don’t know the way life is leading.
You don’t see the chasm t’ward which you are bound
And don’t hear that Jesus is pleading.

Chorus:

Wake up, dear soul!
Listen, dear soul!
Deep in your heart Christ has spoken.
He’ll save and give new life to live,
Healing your heart that is broken.

2.

Place all of your burdens and sin at the cross.
Your pain and your need give to Jesus.
He came to deliver the wretched and lost.
He came with the Gospel that frees us.

3.

Believe Jesus’ Word; come to Him. Be made whole.
You won’t be away from Him driven,
And only Christ’s blood can from sin cleanse your soul.
In Jesus alone life is given.
