Awaken From Your Place of Rest

Awake oh sleeper, Awake from your rest
For now is the time to be put to the test
A test of faith, a test of love
That will glorify the Lord above
There are souls that cry out to be saved
They are bound in chains, and are the enemy's slaves
Do you pass by and ignore their pain
Or do you pray for their breakthrough of rain?
Do you reach out and let them know
That Jesus died for them, and loves them so?
Or do you just ignore them and go about your day
Making them feel like their thrown away?
Do not remain in the place of your slumber
For time is short, our days are numbered
The lost are waiting on your words
For they may not have seen nor have heard
Do not let the enemy hold you back
Work through each problem and every attack
His plan is to keep you from reaching the lost
To make you think that it's too great a cost
satan wants to come and plant weeds
To uproot your harvest and steal your seed
You must be awake, you must be alert
For all around you the enemy lurks
Do not look through your fleshly eyes
Instead, the eyes of your spirit, and be very wise
We all are expected to fulfill our call
No matter how big, no matter how small
It's time to be alert, it's time to move ahead
Follow the instructions in His Word you've read
Resist the enemy and he will flee
This will allow you to be free
Do not focus on your past
Focus on His promise that will forever last
Shed off all of those earthly things
For exceeding joy is what He brings
Wake up, wake up, no time rest
Do not wait in slumber, give God your best
