Last Night While Asleep

Last night while asleep my heart kept on beating.
Life-blood flowed through arteries, veins repeating.
Five quarts of red blood in twenty-three seconds,
Circulates through me, as my body beckons.

Last night while asleep, my body lay at rest.
My veins drained poison that my bloodstream possessed.
Cabon dioxide, by oxygen replaced.
Busy lungs cleasning while my breathing kept pace.

The nervous system, while I'm yet unaware,
Was very busy playing this solitaire.
My body repairing, last night while asleep.
Ready, my appointments to keep.

How does this happen? And Who gives the command?
We are so complex--our bodies so well planned.
Our blessed Creator has kept us through the night.
Then we arise early for the bright sun light.
