Asleep in the Light
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 do numb
Not to care if they come?
Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the job’s done
Bless me, Lord, bless me, Lord
It's all we ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts
Or even sheds a tear
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds
And He cares for our needs
And we just lay back
And keep soaking it in
Can't you see, it's such a sin?
He brings people to you door
And you turn them away
As you smile and say
God bless you, be at peace
And all Heaven just weeps
Jesus came to you door
You left Him out on the street
Open up, open up
And give yourself away
You see the need, you hear their cry
Why do we delay?
God's calling and we're the ones
But like Jonah we run
He's told us to speak
We keep holding it in
Can't you see, it’s such a sin?
The world is sleeping in the night
And the church just won’t fight
'Cause we’re asleep in the light
How can we be so dead
When we've been so well fed
Jesus rose from the grave
But we can't get out of bed
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come?
Don't close your eyes
Don’t pretend the job's done, no
Do you see? Do you see
All the people sinking down?
Don't you care? Don't you care?
Are we gonna let them drown?
Oh, no, no
Do you see? Do you see?
How can we be do numb?
Don't pretend the job is done
Do you see? Do you see
People sinking down?
Don't let them drown
Oh, don't let them drown
