lyrics
You took my sons away
And more to my dismay
You took all that I owned
And burned down all I’d grown
I just don’t know what’s going on
But I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me
I’m as cripple as a little old man
And I can’t find the strength to stand
I’m as rabid as the devil’s dog
What else is there that could be lost.
I just don’t know what’s going on
But I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me
And if I don’t wake
I consider it a gain
Well my wife said curse His name
But I don’t play the devil’s games
So I said, “Satan Shut Your Mouth!”
He’s the only one that I got left
And I think I know what’s going on
So I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me
And if I don’t wake
I consider it a gain
Take whatever you want to take
Cuz it’s all done in your name.
And more to my dismay
You took all that I owned
And burned down all I’d grown
I just don’t know what’s going on
But I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me
I’m as cripple as a little old man
And I can’t find the strength to stand
I’m as rabid as the devil’s dog
What else is there that could be lost.
I just don’t know what’s going on
But I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me
And if I don’t wake
I consider it a gain
Well my wife said curse His name
But I don’t play the devil’s games
So I said, “Satan Shut Your Mouth!”
He’s the only one that I got left
And I think I know what’s going on
So I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me
And if I don’t wake
I consider it a gain
Take whatever you want to take
Cuz it’s all done in your name.

about
the lilies & sparrows Greer, South Carolina
the lilies and sparrows originated from Ben Patat's acoustic writings while on and off of tour with the band Divide the Sea. The songs are our way of praising God for what he has done for us. He is worthy of all of our praise for the sole reason that He created us, not to mention that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we may be considered righteous through faith. ... more
