Asleep in the Light Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
"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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 2]
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 getta out of bed
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on, get out of your bed

[Bridge]
How can you be so numb, not to care if they come?
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

[Outro]
Come away, come away
Come away with Me, My love
Come away from this mess
Come away with Me, My lo-o-ove
Come away from this mess
Come away with Me, My love
Come away
Come away with Me, My love
