LULLABIES

There's a verse in Zephania that says 'I will rejoice over you with singing'. I was talking about this wih a firend and she mentioned the phrase 'The Lord's Lullabies' in passing, which got me thinking... Ironically I wronte this song in an evening and I couldn't go to sleep until I'd finished it!

Lay me down at Your feet
Sing Your songs over me
Take my cares away beyond the sea
Beyond the stars

Where there’s confusion You bring me peace
Where there’s pain You bring release
Take my troubles far beyond my reach
Beyond the stars

Hold me in your arms
Sing me lullabies
Give me rest, close my weary eyes
And as I sleep, will you come and fill my dreams
Come and be with me
Won’t you sing me lullabies

Let me stay by Your side
Wipe the tears from my eyes
Take my fears away, take them so far
Beyond the stars
