Sleep On It

They couldn't really sleep but were so tired all day long Causing them to weep wondering where they went wrong As night after night came the problem only gets worse And if things stay the same they'll end up in a hearse Everything bound up in their head keeps pounding away Upon each other they fed turning on them day by day Like a giant wave with no way to get out from under Now they were slaves as their own being is set asunder They tried everything, from tapes to books and even pills But peace that couldn't bring only worsening their own ills Finally they just cried out, in a loud voice, Lord I need You Yeah, they had doubt but it was in their choice that was true They slept well that night, in fact they sleep well every night Jesus' Name now in sight now showered by a Heavenly Light The story is about you, just that you haven't finished it yet But when you finally do, a good night sleep you'll finally get Genesis 31:40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
