Lyrics to "One Night As I Lay Sleeping"

One night as I was sleeping 

My heart awakened, in a dream

On my, door my love was knocking 

Saying open my beloved

Swing open wide the door to me

But I felt naked, and ashamed

So I waited…

For a better time

I waited…

For a better way

And the waiting

Was my undoing 

 

My great loss

 

In my heart

Rain will fall

In my heart

Dark clouds gather

But You hold the key to open the door

I fall in your arms, to praise and adore

My Lord and my lover

My God and my Savior

Lovers forever

Lovers forever

Amen

 

All the things that haunt me

All the empty spaces,  I tried to fill

only your love can redeem

By your mercy, by your grace

United  in paradise

My redemption

By your sacrifice

 

But  I waited…

For a better time

I waited…

For a better way

And the waiting

Was my undoing 

My great loss

 

Won’t you tell, tell my beloved 

I am sick with love

Tell my beloved 

That I’m sorry

Tell my beloved

My soul failed

My ways failed

And its my great loss
