Now Lay Me
Down To Sleep

The day is gone . . . The hour is late
It's time to take my rest
I've stayed here in your presence Lord
And I've offered to you my best

Now lay me down to sleep Dear Lord
Just rock me in your arms
Encamp your angels all around me
Let them shield me from all alarm

I'll lay here at your feet My Lord
No safer . . . Secure place to be
Just knowing that you truly love me
And that you're continuously caring for me

My thoughts and dreams they're all on you
The Captain and Love of my soul
I feel a praise coming down in my heart
And the hallelujahs are starting to roll

Come lay me down to sleep Dear Lord
Engulf me in your love
Awaken me to new mercies
Which come from up above

Yes lay me down to sleep Dear Lord
I cling my God to you
Don't ever leave me or let me go
What ever else you do

For none could ever love Me Lord
The way my God you do
So as I rest here IN YOUR PRESENCE
MY LOVE I give TO YOU
