I trip and stumble through this world
All my days are just a blur
My feet wander through the fields
But as always You reveal
When I lie down, I will not be afraid
When I lie down, my soul will breathe again
I will not fear sudden disaster
When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet
Will be sweet
Beside Your wisdom and Your grace
I long to rest and find my place
Your love a refuge for my heart
Your peace is strength to face the dark
When I lie down, I will not be afraid
When I lie down, my soul will breathe again
I will not fear sudden disaster
When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet
Will be sweet
You hold tightly to my ankle, never let me fall
You provide and open eyes and save me from myself
You hold tightly to my ankle, never let me fall
You provide and open eyes and save me from myself
When I lie down, I will not be afraid
When I lie down, my soul will breathe again
I will not fear sudden disaster
When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet
Will be sweet
Will be sweet
Will be sweet
