Between Wake and Sleep Lyrics

Encroaching and swamped

By decisions made resolute
Time sails swiftly on leaving its wake

Stolen are the fineries of life

In never ending menial tasks

Rushing between wake and sleep

And neither is fulfilled
Service is not slavery

When done in love

What a weight love can carry

Through open eyes l*** deprives
Lord where is strength

Where is salvation

See the work of calloused hands

Hear the weariness of a breaking voice

Feel the ropes bend a faltering back.
