SLEEPY OLD MAN
Author(s): Obed Buggs
Songbook: Aaron David Songbook
KeyWords: Praise,

Listen to the whispering of the trees.
Birds in the sky make me fly higher
Raindrops on rooftops are begging me please,
Wake up you sleepy old man.
It is only yesterday that makes
Today seem so long.
I'm wishin' tomorrow would be gone,
But it still lingers on in my mind.

Rise and shine.
Don't let your mind get lonely.
Don't be blind.
Don't let the time go slowly
And you'll find Jesus waiting for you.
Are you awake?
I've got something to say,
For your sake,
Please stop your mind and pray cause
It's no mistake,
That we're here together.

Rise and shine.
Kiss the Son.
Lest He be angry,
And ye perish from the way.
Jesus loves you.
Fall down on your knees,
Seek the Lord, my brethren.
And He'll set you free.

Make it if I want to,
Please tell me what to do.
There might be hope for me yet.
Open up your eyes,
Reach up to the sky,
You have to take the first step.

Yes, I know, I've got to
If my mind will stop to
Let me change my stagnant ways.

There's a light out yonder.
I can reach its wonder.
It's in the grasp of my hands.

Help me open up my eyes,
Reach up to that wide, wide sky,
I will find my promised land;

Yes, I know I've got to
If my mind will stop to
Let my heart show me the way.

Shut your mind off to day.
Let your heart show you the way.
