Audrey Assad's song "O My Soul" is a gentle, introspective worship piece that urges the listener to be honest with themselves and to love God wholeheartedly. The lyrics use imagery of creation singing and the inner struggle with fear and folly, contrasting the emptiness of worry with the faithfulness of God. The repeated refrain "Don't lie to yourself, O my soul, love your God" serves as a self-exhortation to turn from anxiety and embrace trust in God's unwavering presence. The song's calm, reflective tone makes it a fitting meditation for those seeking peace and a deeper surrender to God.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Rivers and stones and the trees of the field, they sing in the night
And a thousand tongues lay deep in your lungs to raise to the sky
Don't lie to yourself, O my soul - love your God.
Don't lie to yourself, O my soul - love your God.
Deep in your heart you feather and tar your folly and fear:
Expose them all for the fools they are, and the world becomes clear.
Don't lie to yourself, O my soul, just love your God.
Don't lie to yourself, O my soul, just love your God.
Love your God.
Your worries will never love you
They'll leave you all alone
But your God will not forsake you
O my soul, my soul.
Don't lie to yourself, O my soul - love your God.
Don't lie to yourself, O my soul, just love your God.
Love your God.
