Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep - Linda Ann Henry



As I knelt by my bed, this is the prayer I said.
"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray O Lord, my mom won't weep,
I heard her call my name today
It was just a whisper, then went away.

In my dreams I see her clear
I may never meet her, yet she is so very dear
She no longer remembers the family she once knew
I guess even me, she has forgotten too.

As I lay me down to sleep
Her soul may rest, as she closes her eyes
In my dreams I will carry her to the skies,
Jesus, wanted to bless her soul
Mom is love, that much I know.

To be part of her again
Is a gift, my own soul sends
As I lay me down to sleep
I see a dove, sweetly singing deep
A love song I have always known
Mom is my treasure, the gift she has shown.

The true beauty, life gives to all
If only we will answer love's first call
As I finish the little I pray,
I can go to sleep in peace
Mom maybe miles away
But Jesus sent her love to me this day.
