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 so numb?!
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the job is 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 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 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 is calling
And you are the one
But like Jonah, you run
He told you to speak
But you keep holding it in

Oh, can't you see 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!
C'mon, get out of your bed!

How can you be so numb?!
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the job is done!
You close your eyes
And pretend the job is done!
Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the job is done
Come away! Come away!
Come away with Me, My love!
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 with Me My love!
