I Sleep But My Heart is Awake

I cannot sleep when I long for the Bridegroom.
Am I ready and prepared for His coming?
There is a slumber that leads to death,
and there is a sleep that is watchfully at rest.

My soul is ecstatic whether asleep or awake.
The enemy has set traps all around me.
How can I escape if I don't escape by Your love.
I will not fall into a pit if it were not by the leading of Your Spirit.

I die a death of a thousand deaths.
Only to rise and be taken away by Your Spirit.
Angelic activity and sweet purity fill the air.
Your divine gift of eternal rest fills the cracks in the spaces.
In solitude and quietness I fall asleep in Your arms of love.
