This I Pray
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
Forgive me lord for I have sinned
Have mercy on the shape I'm in
And if I've fallen from your grace
Help me lord to find my place
I'm in a storm with no way out
The waters rough
I'm tossed about
I know that there's blue sky above
It's in your mercy and your love
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light
Take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day
This I pray
I crossed a bridge
And lost my way
For years and years
I've gone astray
And if I live another day
I pray the lord to guide my way
I need a savior
Here and now
I know I'm sinking
Yet, somehow
I'm reaching for some final peace
Before my time begins to cease
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light
Take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day
This I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
