Mavis Staples - God Is Not Sleeping Lyrics

Mavis Staples Lyrics

"God Is Not Sleeping"

God is not sleeping, no
You got to believe it

He's the only one I know
Who never refuse me, never deceive me
In the struggles of my life
He's right there beside me
Protect me and guide me
From the hills cometh Thy words
And those words live in my soul
That's why I know, I know

God is not sleeping, no no
You've got to believe it, hang on
Whatever your need is, hold on
God is not sleeping, no no

In the stillness of the night
In every corner of the world
While we are sleeping
He is still working
When the prayers go up
The blessings come down
Yes, He is working
He never stops working

God is not sleeping, no no
You've got to believe it, hang on
Whatever your dream is, hold on
God is not sleeping, no

Everything I have is temporary, only love is necessary
Everything I own is temporary, only love is necessary
Everything I have is temporary, only love is necessary
Everything I own is temporary, only God's love is necessary
Necessary, necessary, necessary
God is not sleeping, no no

Whatever your dream is, hold on
God is not sleeping, no no
Whatever our dream is, hang on
God is not sleeping, oh no
God is not sleeping, no

He's always, always there for me
God is not sleeping, no no

In every corner of the world
While we are sleeping
He is still working
