Waking after a good night sleep ...

1 Thessalonians 5:10 

10 He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep

we will come to life together with Him.

 

 

Waking up after a good sleep ... in a world of confusion

Why did not the sleep go on ... and saved me from the day?

 

It is said I need too ... for in that is life’s passion

I am not too sure of that ... could there be another way?

 

“Asleep” in Christ is life forever ... for in sleep death rules not

Maybe awake is more the picture ... of how far we strayed from God?

 

In my sleep do I keep sinning ... is that where I scheme the wrong

Or is that the place to show me ... where I deep in truth belong?

 

So “Rest in Peace” is not a statement ... unless stamped upon the heart

Not at the end but the beginning ... preventing my life from falling apart
