He Awakens my Slumbering Soul

You ask then how I knew He was present, when
His ways can in no way be traced? He is life
and power, and as soon as He enters in, He
awakens my slumbering soul; He stirs and soothes
and pierces my heart, for before it was hard
as stone, and diseased.

- Bernard of Clairvaux, On the Song of Songs
