Lay me down to rest,
Sing me a sweet lullaby,
When will I see you again'
Sleep come over me,
Can't keep from closing my eyes.
The day is gone, but you'll carry on,
Watching, protecting me into the dawn.
Then another day to spend my life with you.
Cause there's a home in my heart
And I believe the day is coming
When we'll never be apart.
Just to be where you are,
And to spend my live with you
Would be a perfect start.
See you when I rise,
Morning will bring me your song
Over and over again.
Shine Your light on me,
Wash me in resplendent love.
There is no shame with You as my aim.
Yesterday, today, forever the same.
And I only want to spend my live with you.
Cause there's a home in my heart
And I believe the day is coming
When we'll never be apart.
Just to be where you are,
And to spend my live with you
Would be a perfect start.
In your presence Lord, there I will be satisfied,
Over and over again.
