Oh My Soul
An Original Scripture-Based Worship Song
“Oh My Soul” — ZoeYvonne
There are days when the weight does not lift and no one comes to speak a word over us. David stood in such a day and encouraged himself in the LORD his God. “Oh My Soul” is that inward turn set to music—a soul commanded to remember, hope, wait upon God, and bless the LORD before the feeling comes.
The Words
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Wave after wave keeps rolling in,
and there seems no place to stand —
I can hardly find my breath —
but oh my soul, oh my soul,
I have a word for you today:
CHORUS
Oh my soul, oh my soul,
I command you to bless the LORD!
Do not be disquieted within me —
hope, and wait only upon God.
My expectation is from Him,
not from men, not from myself,
only from the LORD —
oh my soul, bless the LORD!
VERSE 2
I don’t even have the words to pray —
the weight has stolen every one —
but He only is my rock, my salvation,
He is my defence.
I shall not be moved, so wait, my soul,
wait only on my God.
CHORUS
Oh my soul, oh my soul,
I command you to bless the LORD!
Do not be disquieted within me —
hope, and wait only upon God.
My expectation is from Him,
not from men, not from myself,
only from the LORD —
oh my soul, bless the LORD!
VERSE 3
Forget not all His benefits —
remember what He’s done.
He forgives, He heals, He redeems my life,
He crowns me with His love.
And when the dark says God is gone
and my memory starts to wander,
I reach back for what I know is true:
remember, O my soul.
CHORUS soft — almost a whisper
Oh my soul, oh my soul,
I command you to bless the LORD!
Do not be disquieted within me —
hope, and wait only upon God.
My expectation is from Him,
not from men, not from myself,
only from the LORD —
oh my soul, bless the LORD!
BRIDGE building
Bless the LORD, oh my soul —
bless the LORD, oh my soul —
all that is within me,
bless His holy name.
FINAL CHORUS full
Oh my soul, oh my soul,
I command you to bless the LORD!
Do not be disquieted within me —
hope, and wait only upon God.
My expectation is from Him,
not from men, not from myself,
only from the LORD —
forever from the LORD —
oh my soul, bless the LORD!
