Lay Me Down

Oh my God you are the highest power

Nothing else can stand nothing else can tower

Oh my God you are unconditional love

You sent your Son; for us he shed his blood

 

Now I am about to lay me down

But before I do I reminisce about then and now

How you saved my life from terrible things

I been flying clipped but with working wings

 

I know that in you I am found

The rest of life has its upside downs

It’s you I seek and you know me best

I’m filled with peace when I’m in your rest

 

The truth is not that you don’t exist

The truth is that you love and you forgive

Truth comes in a variety of ways

And I know for a fact that Jesus saves

 

You never change, you stick to the letter

I am slowly changing but for the better

Don’t worry about me yesterday only remember

That I am alive and well and fully surrendered

 

So give your life to God today

Or continue your lonely path of pain

As sorrow shouldn’t be met with joy

I lament and give God my life to employ

 

You’ll begin to see things in a new light

Don’t be afraid to open your eyes

For it’s when you do; that’s when you’ll realize

That God was there waiting for you this whole time
