When I hear the praises start, oh I wanna rain upon you
Lessons that will fill your heart, I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child - and you know Me
To me you're only holy, nothin' that you've done remains
Only what you do for Me

to Keith Green. Although I love most of his music, "Song for Josiah" and "Asleep in the Light" are my favorites.
Asleep in the Light -- Keith Green
Do you see, do you see
All the people sinking down?
Don't you care, don't you care
Are you gonna let them drown?
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come?
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done.
"Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord";
You know it's all I ever hear.
No one aches, no one hurts
No one even sheds one tear.
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds
And He cares for your needs.
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in,
Oh, can't you see it's such a sin?
Cause He brings people to your door,
And you turn them away
As you smile and say,
"God bless you, be at peace";
And all heaven just weeps.
Cause Jesus came to your door
You've left him out on the streets.
Open up open up
And give yourself away.
You see the need, you hear the cries
So how can you delay?
God's calling and you're the one
But like Jonah you run.
He's told you to speak
But you keep holding it in,
Oh can't you see it's such a sin?
The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
Cause it's asleep in the light.
How can you be so dead
When you've been so well fed?
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed.
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on, get out of your bed!
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come?
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done.
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done.
Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the jobs done.
Come away, come away, come away with Me my love,
Come away, from this mess, come away with Me, my love.
