JESUS COMMANDS US TO GO LYRICS
CHORUS
Jesus commands us to go,
but we go the other way.
So He carries the burden alone,
While His children are busy at play,
Feeling so called to stay.
END CHORUS
Oh, how God grieves and believes that the world can`t be saved,
Unless the ones He`s appointed obeys,
His command and His stand for the world,
That He loved more than life.
Oh He died, and He cries out tonight.
CHORUS
Jesus commands us to go,
It should be the exception if we stay.
It`s no wonder we`re moving so slow,
When His church refuses to obey,
Feeling so called to stay.
END CHORUS
Oh how God calls, as He stalls the great judgment of fire,
So He can gain, His Greatest desire.
Cause He knows that the souls of the lost,
They can only be reached, through us,
We`re His hands and His feet.
CHORUS
Jesus commands us to go,
It should be the exception if we stay.
It`s no wonder we`re moving so slow,
When God`s children refuse to obey,
Feeling so called to stay.
END CHORUS
Unfortunately, I didn't know how to post this in order to separate each stanza (correct term?) without leaving a blank line between each line using the paragraph command, so I typed in CHORUS and END CHORUS to try to separate each verse of the song.
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
VERSE 2
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the job`s done
VERSE 3
"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
VERSE 4
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?
VERSE 5
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 6
Open up, open up
And give yourself away
You see the need, you hear the cries
So how can you delay
VERSE 7
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?
VERSE 8
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
VERSE
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on, get out of your bed
VERSE 9
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
FINAL VERSE
Come away, come away, come away with Me my love,
Come away, from this mess, come away with Me, my love.
END OF SONG
