When my eyes are weary and I lay me down
I can trust in you, Lord, to bring the calm
From a busy day to a quiet night
Knowing you’ll be near until the light
When I raise my head to the newborn day
I will look to you, Lord, to find my way
You will lead me on through the day ahead
As your Spirit speaks and my heart obeys.
Close to you, close to you
Every moment, this I choose
Never far from your sweet call
Close to you, you’re my all
When my way is lonely, and I’m feeling sad
I can look to you, Lord, and I’ll be glad
Just to know you walk every step with me
I can go through life knowing you are near
You will never leave me,
Never desert me
Never stop loving me
Never stop giving
Never be angry
Never give up on me
Close to you, close to you
Every moment, this I choose
Never far from your sweet call
Close to you, you’re my all
What a beautiful poem, Pete! Thank you.
