The Church is Still Asleep


With all the hype 

And the emotional highs

Can we see clearly

With our discerning eyes

The church is still asleep


With all the shouting

With all the praise

With all the jumping

With each hand raised

The church is still asleep


Awake O sleeper

Rise from the dead

With only milk bottles

We have been fed

The church is still asleep


We've traded worship

For entertainment

We've chosen puppets

Over men that are sent

The church is still asleep


With all the worship music

There's something I've seen

No one distinguishes 

The clean from the unclean

The church is still asleep


With the light sermons

That tell a nice story

We've embraced a concert

But we have lost His glory

The church is still asleep


Words replace obedience

Routine replaces power

Form replaces revival 

Desert replaces showers 

The church is still asleep


What we have today

It is a night club feel

We've chosen fake worship 

Over the genuine and real

The church is still asleep


Apathy everywhere

As many ride the fence

In all our activity 

We are void of His presence

The church is still asleep


Worship is about Him

It is not about us

But now that message

Leaders seem to adjust

The church is still asleep


We must start breaking 

The ground that is fallow

Yet we splash happily

Content in the shallow

The church is still asleep


As this continues on

Again each Sunday morning

Can we feel the grief of God

Can we hear His warning

The church is still asleep
