When I lay me down to sleep
Or venture out on the deep
I ask my Lord to keep
Me safe from all harms
When I 'wake to face the day
I again will kneel to pray
Asking Him to guide my way
Through all alarms
Through all alarms
Yes I place my trust in Jesus who loves me
I place my faith in my Father above me
With the Spirit as my guide
Walking daily by my side
I place my trust and faith in Jesus who loves me
As I walk this narrow road
And carries this heavy load
I feel I might explode
But He comforts me
With His hand He reaches down
And lifts me without a sound
But I know that He's around
Though I can't see
No I can't see
When I take my final breath
When I feel the hands of death
I will not fear nor fret
Cause I know He's there
He will guide and comfort me
Bear me safely 'cross the sea
Where I'll spend eternity
Free from all fear
Free from all fear
