Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep,
and if I die while counting sheep,
like Lazarus I won't make a peep,
and wait for Jesus to resurrect me,
He'll come back in the clouds one day,
where He'll gently take His flock away,
but meantime I'll "sleep" in my grave,
waiting for Jesus and Judgement Day,
I know my body will decay,
but knowing this its all ok,
resurrection promotes perfect body and health,
whereas death is a "sleep" and nothing else,
When Jesus commanded that "Lazarus come forth",
Lazarus came forth knowing Jesus is his Boss,
he was "asleep" in his grave,
not in Heaven which is all the rage,
Because why would Jesus take him from there,
a place where theres no pain or nightmares,
back to earth where theres pain and suffering,
Bible says death is a sleep till the resurrection.
1 Thess 13-18
