I have recently been having a hard time sleeping. This stems from two things: physical uneasiness and pain from my back, and several nights of nightmares. The back pain I have grown used to, and only occasionally keeps me awake at night. However, the dreams I have no control over. I have to turn these over to my Father, and allow Him to hold me and carry me through. What follows is something that has come out of this time, and it brings me comfort to think that I have no control. The world would say differently, but we are not of this world, are we?
My Lullaby
As I lay me down to sleep
The night is creeping in
The darkness is too deep
I just want this day to end
I close my eyes and say a prayer
Fight off the night for me
I can feel you coming nearer
I can feel you setting me free
When I sleep, I feel your arms around me
Because I know I’m in the palm of Your hand
I feel safe when You’re by my side
Here is where I can be only Yours
When I dream, it’s up to You
There’s nothing more I can do
I can’t be in control
I want You in whole
Every waking hour
I want to give to You
But that’s never easy
Never the easy thing to do
When I sleep, I feel Your arms around me
Because I know I’m in the palm of Your hand
I feel safe when You’re by my side
Here is where I can be only Yours
Though the darkness comes
Though the light is not seen
It’s more than sight
I have seen the unseen
When I sleep, I feel Your arms around me
Because I know I’m in the palm of Your hand
I feel safe when You’re by my side
Here is where I can be only Yours
