In the deepest depths of darkest dreams,
I'm sure that no one hears my screams.
But while in pain and much distress,
You came to comfort, guide and bless.
You brought me out of grief and pain
and let the ice from my veins drain.
Your warmth and love upon me fell,
erasing thoughts of sin and hell.
You raised me up above my grief,
my tenure there mercifully brief.
Now that You're here, I'll never go;
I shall not sink back into woe.
I wish to stay forever here
beneath Your wings - so far from fear,
from painful strife, and sadness deep -
guided, watched over as I sleep.
Father, keep me safe.  Hold me tight
so I may never fear the night.
