BEFORE I SLEEP
There has to be simple prayer
So God knows too, how well I did
All day long I've been a player
From Him I have kept nothing hid
I see my pillow on the bed
And the blankets all creased with care
I am longing to lay my head
So I can leave my troubles there
For this is how I cash my day
All the riches and all the waste
So I can gently find my way
And put an end to all my haste
I pray my Father will show me
The next step on my steep trail
So I can always plainly see
Jesus is the sea I must sail
Now as I lay me down to sleep
I ask God my soul to defend
I beg of Him to also keep
Eyes wide open for my lost friend
