Asleep in the Light Songtext
von Keith Green

Do you see?
Do you see?
All the people sinking down?
Don′t you care?
Don't you care?
Are you gonna let them drown?
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come?
You close your eyes and pretend the job′s done

Oh, bless me Lord, bless me Lord
You know, it's all I ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts
No one even sheds one tear
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds
And He cares for your needs
And you just lay back and keep soaking it in
Oh, can't you see it′s such sin?


′Cause He brings people to your door
And you turn them away
As you smile and say
"God bless you, be at peace"
And all heaven just weeps
'Cause Jesus came to your door
You′ve left Him out on the streets

Open up, open up
And give yourself away
You see the need, you hear the cries
So how can you delay?
God's calling and you′re the one
But like Jonah, you run
He's told you to speak
But you keep holding it in
Oh, can′t you see it's such sin?

The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
′Cause it′s asleep in the light

How can you be so dead
When you've been so well-fed?
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can′t even get out of bed
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on, get out of your bed


How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come?
And you close your eyes and pretend the job's done
You close your eyes and pretend the job′s done
Don't close your eyes, don′t pretend the job's done

Come away, come away
Come away with me my love
Oh, come away from this mess
Come away with me my love

Come away from this mess
Come away with me my love
Come away, come away
Oh, come away with me my love
