🎙️Hymn from Global Canticle
No. 4 (Sec 1): Awake, My Soul
Scriptures: Psalm 108:2 · Isaiah 60:1
Suggested Tune: St. Anne
Meter: 8.6.8.6
Key: G Major
Awake, my soul, and sing anew,
The morning breaks with light.
The Lord has stirred the skies with truth,
And chased away the night.
Let every breath proclaim His name,
Let every heart arise.
The Spirit moves like holy flame,
And glory fills the skies.
No longer bound by sleep or fear,
The soul begins to soar.
The voice of God is drawing near—
Revival at the door.
Awake, my soul, and do not wait,
The hour is now begun.
Lift up your praise, anticipate
The rising of the Son.

(A 7‑Stanza Prophetic Psalm‑Chant)
Stanza 1—
O Lord of everlasting mercy,
Your love rose before the dawn of my days.
You called my name in the quiet places,
And wrapped me in the warmth of Your choosing.
Your love is the first voice my spirit remembers.
Stanza 2 —
You stretch compassion over my frailty,
Like a banner woven from heaven’s breath.
Where fear once built its trembling walls,
Your love breaks through with gentle thunder.
Nothing stands against the One who loves perfectly.
Stanza 3 —
In the valley where shadows whisper,
Your footsteps echo beside my own.
You steady my trembling heart,
Teaching me courage born from communion.
Your love is the lamp that refuses to dim.
Stanza 4 —
Speak, Lord, and shape my inner world.
Let Your love uproot bitterness,
Let it soften the hardened corners of my soul.
Make me a vessel that pours freely,
As You have poured endlessly into me.
Stanza 5 —
Command my hands toward kindness,
And my voice toward healing words.
Let my days become small altars
Where Your love is offered without hesitation.
Send me as a quiet miracle into ordinary places.
Stanza 6 —
Where I have withheld grace, restore me.
Where I have forgotten mercy, remind me.
Where I have loved with limits, enlarge me.
Your love rebuilds what sorrow dismantled,
And gathers my scattered pieces into peace.
Stanza 7 —
O God of unending affection,
Your love outlives every season and sorrow.
Teach my heart to rest in its certainty,
To breathe in its promise,
And to rise each day as one beloved and sent.
Introduction
Week 4 of Advent draws us into the warmth of divine love. Before the manger, before the miracles, before the cross — there was love. God’s love initiated the story of redemption, and it continues to shape our lives today. As we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth, we remember that love is the heartbeat of Advent.
📜Scripture Reading
John 16:33 (NIV):
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Opening Line...
Love is not simply an attribute of God — it is the essence of His nature and the invitation He extends to us.
🧖Story of the Week
A woman walked the same busy street every morning, passing a fruit vendor who rarely smiled. One day, she felt a gentle prompting: “Show him love.”
She bought an extra cup of tea and offered it to him with a simple, “I hope your day is gentle.”
He paused, stunned. The next morning, he greeted her first. A week later, he shared that he had been battling loneliness.
One small act of love cracked open a door for hope.
Love rarely needs a stage — only a willing heart.
