Bedtime Prayer - Twila Paris

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray dear Lord that you will keep

Your eyes upon this sleeping world

Every little boy and girl

Bless the children far away

The ones who don’t know how to pray

Those who are not feeling well

The little one the slipped and fell

Bless the puppy down the street

The neighbors I have yet to meet

Bless my mom and dad especially

Just one more thing I’d like to say

Before I close another day

I’d like to thank you Lord for all the ways

That You bless me

Bless the child whose home is torn

The babies who are not yet born

Bless the ones who take your word

To all the hearts that have not heard

Bless all your children everywhere

I hope they know how much you care

Maybe someday I can go

And tell them that You love them so

Bless Grandma and my Grandpa too

And all my friend and all they do

Bless every twig upon my family tree

Just one more thing I’ll say to you

I’m so amazed by all you do

I’ll thank you once again because it’s true

That you bless me
