Asleep in the Light Lyrics

Asleep in the Light by 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, 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?
You close your eyes and pretend the job's done (x3) (End - Am7 C D)
Come away, come away, come away with me my love (x4)
