Brooke Ligertwood takes a more reflective and prayerful turn with “Lest I Sleep,” a worship piece that feels like a quiet personal prayer. The song carries a soft, contemplative mood, focusing on spiritual alertness and a deep desire to stay close to God. Its gentle instrumentation allows the message to sit at the center, creating a calm atmosphere that encourages reflection.
What makes “Lest I Sleep” stand out is its honest tone — it feels less like a performance and more like a sincere cry of the heart. Brooke’s delivery is tender and intentional, drawing listeners into a space of stillness and awareness before God. It’s the kind of song that fits late-night devotion or quiet worship moments, reminding believers to stay spiritually awake and grounded in faith.
How long must I
Take counsel in my soul
And have sorrow in my heart
All the day
