Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray to you on bended knees
Wash my heart, my soul in love
So I may fly to heaven one day
On wings of angels high above.

Before I lay me down to sleep
Wash my heart, my soul & mind
Please teach me, and show me
To love all...be kind.


Teach and show me sweet Jesus
As if I am made of potters clay
Mold me and shape me as you will
As I walk with you each day.

Keep me safe and ever warm tonight
Under your beautiful moonlit skies
As I look toward the stars in search
And long so to see your loving eyes.


Knowing your eyes are always on me
Everything I do each day, you see
And can feel your presence so close
Your hand is on my heart endlessly.

And to you I pray with all my might
Through this prayer to you I send
For there to be peace, love tonight
In each home, your love without end.
