Download: Awake My Soul – Hillsong Worship & Tasha Cobbs Leonard

Hillsong Worship, along with GRAMMY Award-winning songtress Tasha Cobbs Leonard, releases a special collaborative edition of “Awake My Soul.

Featuring lead vocals from Hillsong worship leader/songwriter Brooke Ligertwood and Tasha Cobbs Leonard, the single is available now on all streaming platforms.

When Hillsong Worship was first searching for words and melodies to articulate what would become their AWAKE album, they felt a clear directive toward a sound that would accompany an awakening of God’s people. “Awake My Soul” became a song-cry of intercessional praise and an invitation to consider the spiritual ‘sound’ of the Saviour’s response. From the outset, the song was a powerful expression of spiritual warfare.

“Last year our church, Hillsong, announced that Tasha Cobbs Leonard was going to be one of our guests at Hillsong Conference 2020 in July in Sydney, Australia (news which was met with much jubilation!),” said Ligertwood. “At the beginning of this year, Tasha and I then began talking about what it would be like for us to record a song together live at Hillsong Conference.

“What God was birthing in us was on purpose, and it was for this time,” adds Tasha Cobbs Leonard.” ‘“Awake My Soul’ calls for the Church to arise and take authority. It reminds us of an eternal weight and an eternal calling. Together, this anthem is the Church’s declaration that there is an awakening taking place in the earth. The Kingdom of God is alive!’

“Awake My Soul” is Hillsong Worship’s first collaboration since partnering with Delirious back in 2004. The duo (Ligertwood and Cobbs Leonard) have been friends for years and share the same passion for worship and the same desire to connect people to God. Together, they pray that this rendition will be a reflection of God’s heart for His Church: unity, diversity, peace and power.

“Our hope is that this version of ‘Awake My Soul’ unequivocally exhorts every believer who hears it to PRAY with faith and authority for our world and Christ’s Church at this time in history,” says Ligertwood and Cobbs Leonard.

LYRICS: AWAKE MY SOUL BY HILLSONG WORSHIP AND TASHA COBBS

[Verse 1: Brooke Ligertwood]
There is a sound I love to hear
It’s the sound of the Saviour’s robe
As He walks into the room where people pray
Where we hear praises, He hears faith

[Chorus: Brooke Ligertwood]
Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud
Oh-oh-oh, awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

[Interlude: Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
Oh, oh-oh oh, hallelujah
His praise, yeah

[Verse 2: Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
There is a sound that changes things
The sound of His people on their knees
Oh wake up you slumbering
It’s time to worship Him

[Chorus: Brooke Ligertwood & Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud
Oh-oh-oh, awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud

[Bridge: Brooke Ligertwood & Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
And when He moves, and when we pray
Where stood a wall, now stands a way
Where every promise, is amen
And when He moves, make no mistake
The bowels of hell, begin to shake
All hail the Lord, all hail the King

[Bridge: Brooke Ligertwood & Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
Hey! Oh!
Oh, let the King of glory enter in
Hey! Oh!
Fall down on your knees and worship Him
(Fall down on your knees and worship Him, yeah)
Hey! Oh!
Let His praise rise up, don’t hold it in (Don’t hold it in)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus: Brooke Ligertwood]
Awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud
Oh-oh-oh, awake my soul and sing
Sing His praise aloud
Sing His praise aloud
