A valiant attempt to reproduce Keith Green’s classic song “Asleep in the Light”:

Love that will not let me go
Steve Camp

In this weary world chasing after dreams
Just led me back where I started
I couldn’t see my way
Or find a hiding place
For the broken-hearted
You spoke softly to my soul
And with one touch I was made whole

Chorus:
(Now I know that) there is a love that will not let me go
I can face tomorrow because You hold me forever
Stronger than the mighty winds that blow
I’m safe within Your arms
Love that will not let me go

Lord You always knew the road that I would take
Ah, then You saved me just in time
And what I owe to You I could not repay
So I pledge You my whole life
Never trusted love before
But I won’t be afraid anymore

Now I know that there is a love that will not let me go
I can face tomorrow because You hold me forever
Stronger than the mighty winds that blow
I’m safe within Your arms
Love that will not let me go

There’s a love that will not let me go
I can face tomorrow because You hold me forever
Stronger than the mighty winds that blow
I’m safe within Your arms
Love that will not let… me go

Song by Ian White:

Lord we need to hear You speak to us this day
Though our hearts may tremble at what You might say
Fill us with a new desire to turn away
From everything that is untrue
And to pledge ourselves again to You

Lord this land is cold without Your burning flame
Eyes on works of man and not on Jesus’ name
But we have seen Your fire where men have turned in shame
And cried to You on eastern shores
Oh Lord bring us to our knees once more

For it is all we can do
To wait for You to pour Your Spirit down
It is all we can pray
That You would have Your way
Come Lord, come
Come Lord, come

Lord how may we ask and know that we’ll receive?
What unrepentant past still makes Your Spirit grieve?
For You know every heart though many mouths deceive
Lord open me before all men
And fill me with Your love again

Lord this land is empty with a rich disgrace
Scenery of plenty but no Spirit’s place
But we have seen Your power to fill a desert space
Where men in Christ have died to sin
And surrendered all their lives to Him

For it is all we can do
To wait for You to pour Your Spirit down
It is all we can pray
That You would have Your way
Come Lord, come
Come Lord, come

Lord when will we learn to trust Your faithful hand
Too soon we run in fear when we don’t understand
And all the time You simply show us Your commands
And call each servant to obey
Oh Lord let that be me today

Your faithful word is near me for You are the Lord
My mouth and heart may speak it, my unearned reward
Send me that Your waiting Church may be restored
And may the cost seem joyful pain
To see the lost return again

For it is all we can do
To wait for You to pour Your Spirit down
It is all we can pray
That You would have Your way
Come Lord, come
Come Lord, come
