Lyrics
Now it?s time to rest my head
On my warm and cozy bed.
God is watching over me
While I slumber, while I sleep.
Sun has crept behind the hill;
Moonlight on my windowsill.
Stars are twinkling overhead
As I lay upon my bed.
In peace I will lay down and sleep
For You, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.
Crickets chirp into the night
Daddy?s turning off my light.
Praying for his little one
When another day is done. In peace?.
Jesus will not close His eyes.
Mommy says I must close mine.
In the light or darkness deep.
God will hold me while I sleep.
Yes, God is watching over me
While I slumber, while I sleep.
