Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (God has my soul to keep)

When you look upon a starry sky
and see the full moon smiling at Venus,
I hope you can feel my love.

When you think of me in your dreams,
I hope you see fields of diamonds,
meadows with horses,
valleys of pearls,
and in the midst of this landscaped beauty,
there I’ll be.

When you see snowcapped mountains,
think of me.
When you see children playing with joyous rapture,
think of me.
When you see rainbows among cumulus clouds,
think of me.
When you see perfumed roses climbing chimney walls to give God praise,
think of me.
When you see sleigh rides, Santa Clauses, Christmas trees and jingle bells,
think of me.
When you see golden sunrises and ruby sunsets,
think of me.

When you think of me,
I feel you.
When you whisper my name,
I hear you.
When you laugh tears of joy at my little forget-me-nots,
I am laughing right along with you.

I am not gone.
I am still with you.
I still love you.
I am not gone!

It was my time for God to lay me down to sleep,
and now He has my soul to keep.

Remember,
I am not gone.
I am still with you.
I still hear you.
I still love you.
I am not gone.

It was my time for God to lay me down to sleep,
and God now has my soul to keep.

Amen.
