I'm Not Dead, I'm Just Asleep

I'm not dead, I'm just asleep. I just needed a rest, I wanted to stay a little while longer, But GOD knows what's best. I've met a Savior that gives out love, Love instead of hate. I want you to seek and find this savior before it's too late. When your burdens are so hard to bear and you think you can't find your way, it's time to seek the Lord and learn how to pray. I know because he's always been a deep and sacred part of me, so don't worry, I'm happy I'm where I want to be. Always remember GOD is standing by, whenever you get weak. Remember my spirit is always near for I'm not dead, I'm just asleep.
