God, who, of course, does not sleep.
How do you know this?
Psalms 121
Psalms 121
One of the problems in tying God and every subsequent action of his to a poem written over 3000 years ago is that it kind of straitjackets him and limits him to a few words in a poem rather than recognizing it's one aspect of the way the poet saw him at that moment. The real import of the words of psalm 121 is not so much that God never sleeps but rather, he won't neglect the people he's promised to watch over by being asleep.Okay, but he's God, right? He can sleep if he wants. He's God. He can sleep and watch over you at the same time. He's God.
Interesting how these threads always turn away from the idea of the original post and into some other topic based on one line that caught someone else's eye.

Big difference.
Very well written. Minus one line, this could be a Christian song about God's mercies being new every morning and wishing for the morning to break to feel those mercies again. The one line, of course being about someone lying there sleeping...throws the focus off of God, who, of course, does not sleep.
With background it is a great story of God's deliverance and mercy! Glad to be on the right page. Your voice is quite good on the song as well!
