Banner by Raven

Lullaby

Father, as I lie here in my bed
Can't shake all these worries from my head
When will I find
Real peace of mind?
Fears I find instead ...

Lord, you seem a million miles away
Can you even hear me when I pray?
One word from you
Will see me through
This depressing day.

Father, don't forsake me
Won't you make me see
Your love everlasting?
Let my eyes behold you
Then I'll close them and
Drift off in restful sleep.

(Spoken) And the Lord said ...

Close your eyes, my child, and go to sleep
Though the troubled waters seem too deep.
In me abide
I'll be your guide
Close your eyes and sleep ...

When you're in the valley of despair
No one seems to notice you or care.
Have faith in me
Then you will see
I am always there.

You don't have to worry
Have the faith that tells you
I'm always with you,
Guarding and protecting you,
So close your eyes, my child,
And go to sleep.
