lyrics version 1
Is God dead or is he just asleep
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
Look at what a mess we've made of things
Turned our back on truth and placed our stubborn faith in kings
Is God dead or is he just asleep
It is said that what we’ve sown we’ll reap
Trouble’s coming and it won’t be long
All because we don’t care what is right and what is wrong
Take a look at the world around us
It's falling to its knees
Can't you see that we've lost direction
Oh won't you help me please
Is God dead or is he just asleep
In my head, what can I do but weep
People have to make a choice in life
On the verge of peace we always take the road that leads to strife
Is God dead or is he just asleep
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
Trouble’s coming and it won’t be long
All because we don’t care what is right and what is wrong
Take a look at the people passing by
Pushing you out of their way
Stop a moment and if you listen
You’ll hear the people say
Is God dead or is he just asleep [x4]
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
Look at what a mess we've made of things
Turned our back on truth and placed our stubborn faith in kings
Is God dead or is he just asleep
It is said that what we’ve sown we’ll reap
Trouble’s coming and it won’t be long
All because we don’t care what is right and what is wrong
Take a look at the world around us
It's falling to its knees
Can't you see that we've lost direction
Oh won't you help me please
Is God dead or is he just asleep
In my head, what can I do but weep
People have to make a choice in life
On the verge of peace we always take the road that leads to strife
Is God dead or is he just asleep
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
Trouble’s coming and it won’t be long
All because we don’t care what is right and what is wrong
Take a look at the people passing by
Pushing you out of their way
Stop a moment and if you listen
You’ll hear the people say
Is God dead or is he just asleep [x4]

lyrics version 3
Is God dead or is he just asleep
Sick in bed or buried six feet deep
Look at what a mess the world is in
Guess he's left it up to us, we should have left it up to
God's not dead, the world has been asleep
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
People have to make a choice in life
On the verge of peace they always seem to find another knife
Take a look at the people passing by
Pushing you out of their way
Stop a moment and if you listen
You’ll hear the people say
Is God dead or is he just asleep (Is God dead or is he just asleep) [x3]
Is God dead or is he just asleep (Is he just asleep)
Sick in bed or buried six feet deep
Look at what a mess the world is in
Guess he's left it up to us, we should have left it up to
God's not dead, the world has been asleep
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
People have to make a choice in life
On the verge of peace they always seem to find another knife
Take a look at the people passing by
Pushing you out of their way
Stop a moment and if you listen
You’ll hear the people say
Is God dead or is he just asleep (Is God dead or is he just asleep) [x3]
Is God dead or is he just asleep (Is he just asleep)
