Keith Green- Asleep in the light- LYRICS

ASLEEP IN THE LIGHT- 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 a sin?

Cause 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
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 a 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
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done

Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the jobs done
Come away, come away, come away with Me my love,
Come away, from this mess, come away with Me, my love.

I also had returned to Secular life but later rededicated my life back to Christ, as It is Christ that we should look up to NOT people! I Now have a very beautiful Fiancee in my life and She loves the Lord. Christianity is NOT a "trend", or "fad", but a way of life, and a lifetime commitment!!!! and "trend Christianity" in NOT even real or true Christianity at all; It is only a social thing!!!! a lie from Satan!

Proseeds (as well as the rest of the Seeds Ministry) would never stand the test of time; As in my earlier statement about McKenna (Lisa Hedley) Cole The BCLC Seeds ministry was NOTHING MORE then a "product courtesy of the so-called "Seasonal Christain Movement trend" and once it died out by 1995, more then 90% of Seeds group members had returned to the secular life, many became extreamly hateful, several had turned to Darwinism (like Jennifer Castro), and some became Athiests...Pretty SICK!!!!

[LOUDNESSrocks]

It's not only that the church has gotten lazy, but the TRUE reality has come to the surface, as was the case with Bakersfield Christian Life Center's "Seeds Ministry" Including and especially the Proseeds Group. I became a member of Proseeds on August 10, 1988 and thought it was the greatest thing at that time as I met so many great friends (or so I thought!!!!!)...Little did I know or understand that the majority of the members were not true but "Seasonal Christians"

[Alien13Lover]

this song is a old favorite. i wish sometimes us christians were not so selfish! Because keith was right,both in his time and today,the church has gotten lazy.

@Briefy09 Jehovah's Are a cult, If you study up on these deceived people And their doctrine you we see their true god, its not Christ.

[LOUDNESSrocks]

One additional person this song is directed at is McKenna Lisa Cole (Lisa Hedley) who was one of those people who pretended to be a Christian as she and many others got caught up in the "seasonal Chistian movement trend" of the mid 1980s thru early 1990s. literally dissapearing after the fall of Bakersfield Christian Life Centers "Seeds Ministry", Lisa Hedley (Cole) was finally after nearly 20 years by a long lost friend but she had became a very hateful little JERK ! another very sad story!!!

[Mijakinawana]

This smacked the Satan right out of me!

[wheelruner]

This song came out on Keith's 1978 album "No Compromise." 33 years later it is still relevant and moving.

Oh and let's not forget Erin Dixon-Hollingsworth, who Ruined it for Sonseeds at Bakersfield Christian Life Center, in 1994, and "Flushed" the group completely down the toilet! I have also discovered that the Philippinas in Cebu City, Philippines are MUCH BETTER CHRISTIANS then nearly everyone i know in California It just amazes me and at the same time makes me sick, just to see how about 95% of all Christians in Bakersfield, CA are selfish hateful and rude!
