Sleeping In
This song is about our fears and insecurities in life. These things do not come from God. They come from this sin-fallen world and evil personified in the person of Satan. In Christ, there is rest!
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
[Matthew 11:28, The Bible]
“For God has not given us [believers in Christ] a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” [2 Timothy 1:7, The Bible]
Song Lyrics:
I’ve been sleeping in for days,
‘Cause when I am awake,
I will have to face my life.
And I’m hoping it’s a phase.
The walls that I create
Can only make it seem alright.
And I get carried away like I’m the only one
Who’s ever felt the way that I do,
But I can hear you say, “You’re not the only one.
Everybody hopes to get through.”
And it’s got me sleeping in.
Every day God, it’s the same thing.
Yeah, you caught me sleeping in.
I’m still hiding; I’m still waiting.
I need you here with me to face the world outside
‘Cause I’m tired of sleeping in.
I’ve been waking up with fear,
‘Cause all that I can hear
Is the ringing of alarms downtown.
It’s been going on for years,
But you have made it clear
That I am not alone in this crowd.
And I get carried away like I’m the only one
Who’s ever felt the way that I do,
But I can hear you say, “You’re not the only one.
Everybody hopes to get through.”
And it’s got me sleeping in.
Every day God, it’s the same thing.
Yeah, you caught me sleeping in.
I’m still hiding; I’m still waiting.
I need you here with me to face the world outside
‘Cause I’m tired of sleeping in.
Open up my eyes.
I’m tired of sleeping in
In a world that’s dying to wake up.
I’m done with sleeping in.
