morning invitations * awake

Oh God
in those pockets of our souls
 that have gone dead and dormant
do a resurrection work

where our ears have closed tight
open them wide

where our hearts have hardened
soften them
 making them pliable with surrender

where we've closed ourselves to your Holy Word
breathe renewed conviction and hope

wake us up, shake us up, shape us up

for Jesus' sake
amen
