Each night when I lay down and pray,
I thank God for another precious day.

Today my life or yours was not taken,
My faith is still strong just a bit shaken.

If I am blessed to wake in the morning light,
I will praise the Lord for another safe night.

Hedge of protection I pray over all,
That rest you enjoy again at nightfall.

May you enjoy the sunshine at daybreak,
Hedge of protection from any heartache.

May we appreciate and not take for granted,
All the seeds that God’s servants planted.

We are never promised another tomorrow,
So do not do anything that leaves sorrow.

Each day do acts of kindness with love,
So others see Jesus in you thereof.

Blessed tonight I lay me down to sleep,
Pray the Lord mine and your soul He keeps.
