As I lay me down to sleep
I pray with all my might
That you will hold me in your arms
And get me through the night.

I ask you to forgive me
For the things I've done today
I pray you won't forsake me
And be there to guide my way.

As I lay me down to sleep
I reflect on all your love
And ask that you prepare a seat
For me in heaven above.

Your warmth and understanding
And your amazing, wonderous love
Is more than I could ask for
It fits me like a glove.

As I lay me down to sleep
I'll put my trust in you
My thoughts will all be positive
And, I promise to be true.
