The Incomprehensible Sleep

(Matthew 26:36-46)

Our lives up to this point have lead to this

A garden in the dark, a deadly kiss (Matthew 36:47-49)

If you want to follow me

We’ll walk into suffering

It’s this act that will distinguish us

My disciples, those I’ve chosen (John 15:16)

Don’t listen to the sirens

Don’t you know that I would never lead you astray

Tie yourself to the mast and cover your ears with wax

and

Keep your gaze on me, for God’s sake stay awake

Sometimes you have to close your eyes to see.

Sometimes to walk you have to get down on your knees.

All I ask is that you pray

All I ask is that you stay awake

But your dreams betray me

My disciples, those I’ve chosen

Don’t listen to the sirens

Don’t you know that I would never lead you astray

Tie yourself to the mast and cover your ears with wax

and

Keep your gaze on me, for God’s sake stay awake

Wake up.

Are you resting? Are you still asleep?

Wake Up, O Sleeper (Ephesians 5:14)

Wake Up and say a prayer

Wake Up, O Sleeper

Are you my betrayer?

Wake up, O Sleeper

Wake up, O Sleeper

Incomprehensible, Incomprehensible
