God Is Not Asleep

God is not asleep my friends, I say God is not asleep
Pour out your heart to God, pour it out mourn and weep
For tears are a language that he can understand
He gave us a promise, he is with us till the end

God is not asleep my friends, I say God is not asleep
Why are you hiding your fears from him, those troubles you want to keep
Have faith in God, he will hear you, call in his name today
Don't lose hope, don't get weary, get on your knees and pray

God is not asleep my friends, I say God is not asleep
Pray to him for forgiveness of sin, he will forgive sin, no matter how deep
Pray to him to free you from sin, sin is deadly not fun
When he has delivered you, dont boast in yourself over the victories God has won

Sing for joy my friends, I say sing praises to God
Thank him for the answered prayers, our King and Lord
Even in prayers he hasn't answered we have his promise, don't despair
You might be asking,"Does Jesus care?" Oh yes, he does care.

A lovely faithful write Tawanda. I've had many prayers answered and I'm sure he is working on my unanswered ones...... He works in mysterious ways. Amen
