I have felt the Lord challenging me with this song by Keith Green..
I have also felt led to post it here and see if anyone else would like to join me in this challenge.
We all get so wrapped up in this end times stuff (which is important) But what is TRULY the MOST important thing is to be the hands and feet of God. He USES us, and we are called to bring witness to the world of the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ. WHAT AN AMAZING PRIVILEGE!
So I feel God challenging me to wake up, to care more, to put ALL things to the side and Follow HIM, which means to LIVE for Him and Him alone, not for my TV, not for my computer, not for anything but Him. I know that I am so guilty of putting EVERYTHING else first, when people all around me are going to the pit.
The mission field is right here, in our work places, in our homes, at the grocery store, EVERYWHERE.
SO read the words of this song, and if you feel like this is something you need, then please join me in this challenge.
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 do numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done
Oh bless me lord, bless me lord
You know its 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 you needs
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in
Oh can't you see its 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 you 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
Gods 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 its such a sin
The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
cause its 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 jobs done
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done
Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the jobs done
Come away, come away, come away with me my love
Come away, come away, come away with me my love
