Keith Green - Asleep In The Light

asleep in the light by keith green

G Am7 C D G
do you see , do you see , all the people sinking down?
Am7 C D Em
don’t you care , don’t you care , are you gonna let them drown?
D G Am7 C
how can you be so numb not to care if they come?
Am7 – G Em – D G Am7 – C – D
you close your eyes and pretend the job’s done .

G Am7 C D G
“oh bless me lord , bless me lord” you know it’s all i ever hear
Am7 C D Em
no one aches , no one hurts , no one even sheds one tear .
D G Am7 C
but he cries , he weeps , he bleeds , and he cares for your needs
Am7 G Em D G C G Am7 G
and you just lay back and keep soaking it in . oh can’t you see it’s such sin
C G D C
cause he brings people to your door and you turn them away
Em D G Am7 C G
as you smile and say “god bless you , be at peace” , and all heaven just weeps .
C G Am7 C G Am7 – C – D
cause jesus came to your door , you’ve left him out on the streets .

G Am7 C D G Am7 C
open up , open up , and give yourself away , you see the need , you hear the cries
D Em D G Am7 C
so how can you delay? god’s calling , you’re the one , but like jonah you run
Am7 G D G C G Am7 G
he’s told you to speak but you keep holding it in;
C G Am7 G C
oh can’t you see it’s such sin?
C A D Bm
the world is sleeping in the dark that the church just can’t fight
Em D G
cause it’s asleep in the light , how can you be so dead ,
Am7 C
when you’ve been so well fed?
C G Am7 C G C
jesus rose from the grave and you , you can’t even get out of bed
G Am7 G Am7 – G C A – A7 – A – A7 – D – Dsus – D
oh , jesus rose from the dead , come on , get out of your bed
Em D G Am7 C
how can you be so numb not to care if they come?
G Am7 G Em D G – Am7 – G
you close your eyes and pretend the job’s done ( x3 ) ( end – Am7 C D )
