If I Should Die Before I Wake

It's human nature to want security; we want it more than purity. We want to know what the future holds, but since we can't, we want safety in case it comes time to fold. We want to sleep soundly, and when we wake, we want to solve our problems profoundly. It's easy to sit back and relax, confident in your salvation seeing no need to act. Complacency is a state of mind, it'll lead you right into the ties that bind every time. You seem confident on the outside, but on the inside are you really that sure, can you remember the last time you truly cried. In your complacency did you think even one time about the reason or rhyme that guides the steps that you take even when the tears you cry have become so fake. Now you put your head on your pillow and close your eyes, you say a prayer in hopes of covering your lies. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and this time you begin to weep. What have you done to keep it all fresh, when is the last time you fought back against your flesh. What if this is it, the last breathe you take before your heart decides to quit. There were still things you had to remit and the next thing you feel is emptiness. Your skin begins to burn and you cry out, Lord get me out of this empty drought, you scream it without any hint of doubt and suddenly you wake; I pray the Lord my soul to take.
