Oh God, Your rescue follows close | I have run as far has anyone could go | But Your love is calling me, love | Overwhelming, Your love | There’s no stopping it now || Awaken my soul, Awaken my soul | All I’ve gained I’m letting go | Letting go | Awaken my soul || Oh God, When storms will follow close || And I run from all I love the most | Then the dark is fading, Your love |Overtaking, Your love | It’s shaken me from my sleep || Awaken me to Your love | There’s no stopping it now | Love, there’s no stopping it now | Love, there’s no stopping it now || Awaken my soul | Every fear and every dream | Awaken me | In the season of my deepest need || I’m letting go, awaken my soul | Awaken my soul

Behind the Song:
"I write songs on planes. I don't know why. I think it’s because my cell phone is off. I try and sit away from the band guys (I do love them) to get some privacy. And I'm silent, for once! I wrote this lyric on a long flight to California. It's the prodigal story, really. Realizing my own sin and stubbornness made me a perfect match with the prodigal, so I sat down to write. But the song is really more about the Father's response. God not only waits with forgiveness, He pursues us. His rescue follows us closely. So, awaken my soul. All this stuff, all the fame--it’s loss compared to the powerful force of love that is the Father." - Robbie Seay
