Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song after I heard a speaker defuting the theory of evolution. He spoke of how all creation and our even our hearts are the greatest prove of an intelligent design.
Song Description
The earth and my heart was formless and emptiness prevailed, before God spoke words of life. After I came to this incredible impacting realization, all I could do is to stand up and worship, worship and worship Him. There is nothing left to do. That is the whole of man and that is how our souls become completely and absolutely awaken!

AWAKE, MY SOUL AWAKE
Ó 2003 Loyda Hjelte · phone# (320) 235-2734
Verse
THE EARTH WAS FORMLESS
DARKNESS AND EMPTINESS PREVAILED
THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS
BEFORE YOU SPOKE WORDS OF LIFE
YES, YOU ARE LORD ALONE
FOR YOU HAVE CREATED THE HEAVENS AND ALL THEIR HOST
THE EARTH AND ALL THAT ITS IN IT
THE SEA AND ALL THAT LIVES IN IT
Chorus
SO I?LL STAND UP AND BLESS THE LORD MY GOD, MY KING
FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING
LET YOUR GLORY BE ALL OVER THE EARTH
FOR YOU STEADFAST LOVE IS HIGHER THAN THE HEAVENS
AND YOUR FAITHFULLNESS REACHES TO THE CLOUDS
BLESSED BE YOUR NAME, OH MOST HIGH I WORSHIP YOU
LORD MOST HIGH I HONOR YOU
Verse
MY HEART WAS FORMLESS
DARKNESS AND EMPTINESS PREVAILED
THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS
BEFORE YOU SPOKE WORDS OF LIFE
YES YOU ARE LORD ALONE
FOR YOU HAVE FORGIVEN MY MANY SINS
AND AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST
YOU?VE TOSSED THEM IN THE SEA OF FORGETFULNESS
Chorus
SO I?LL STAND UP AND BLESS THE LORD MY GOD, MY KING
FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING
LET YOUR GLORY BE ALL OVER THE EARTH
FOR YOU STEADFAST LOVE IS HIGHER THAN THE HEAVENS
AND YOUR FAITHFULLNESS REACHES TO THE CLOUDS
BLESSED BE YOUR NAME, OH MOST HIGH I WORSHIP YOU
LORD MOST HIGH I HONOR YOU
