Time to Sleep
It's time to sleep my darling,
Close your eyes and rest your head.
Tuck your day into your sheets
Your bedtime story's read.
We've shared, we've talked,
We've cuddled close,
We've bowed our heads to pray.​
As I turn the lamplight down
 I hear your small voice say...
​

"Daddy I'm so frightened
And at night I'm very scared
I just can't seem to get to sleep
I need you - by my bed."

You're my daughter and I love you
You're still special just to me.
Lay your head upon your pillow -
You know we'll always be
Close beside because of Jesus
And your Father up above
He'll stay with you forever

And surround you with his love.

"Dad, please don't ever leave me.
Will you and mummy stay ?
Will you both be here at morning ?
Will the nightime - pass away ?


I've loved the stars too fondly,
To be frightened by the night.
I know my Father's near me,
Right here at your bedside,
I've felt His hand upon me
Thru this busy, bustling day,
Each moment paused to think of Him,
I've heard His small voice say..
 
You know I'll never leave you,
You'll still be close to me,
In your Father's arms - you'll be

 
I know you're growing stronger
With each passing day you keep.
Your future's warm.
Your father's here.
I  watch you - as you sleep.
