What do nonbelievers do when they lay down to sleep?
Do they relax with milk or wine or just start counting sheep?
Do they recall the little things that made their day a mess
Or do they wish they could be rich and have to work much less?
I wonder if they know that when you rest at night in love,
Knowing that your life is under guard by those above,
The pain from life is just a load that each of us must bear
But we can turn it over to the Lord’s unending care.
I wonder how they sleep when life could end at any time
And they don’t have a promise of eternity in mind.
I wonder if we told them that the peace we have is real,
Would they allow the Savior in, their wounded souls to heal?
Would they respond that we are nuts and turn their eyes away?
Do they know we won’t let them off? Won’t let them get away?
Will we express our faith and love and tell them of God’s will?
Will we convince them He can help their empty hearts be filled?
Do we show them through our actions; our words and thoughts and deeds
That God above, the Lord of Love, supplies their every need?
Do we show them the love we have as Christians can be shared
To all who throw their selves aside – who step to Christ – who dare?
Did we hold back, or take the reins and charge to fight the fight
That keeps them tossing, turning as they try to rest each night?
If they became believers, their minds could rest in peace
Knowing that through God above, anxiety will cease.
Do we help them see that God alone, in life their souls will keep?
What DO nonbelievers do when they lay down to sleep?
