What joy fills my heart
When my thoughts are of You
As I lay down to rest
When the day is through
As I thank You with prayer
For Your presence through the day
For Your love and gentle care
How You provide in every way
This grace I do not deserve
And the love to which I cling
As I lay down to rest
What joy it does bring.

(archives)As I Lay Down To Rest
Through Me
Gaze upon me Lord
For You surely see all things
May Your Spirit remove the bad
To which my self clings
For I pray to be
Like the One I adore
In perfect obedience
To fail You no more
For those around me to know
This love I long to give
Comes through me from my Savior
The reason that I live.
