Sometimes I lie awake at night

Praying for You to lull me to sleep

That my eyes would not fight

The dreams You would have me to keep



3:30 in the morning, and I’m still up

Yawning, crying, fighting my eyes

Exhausted holding warm milk in my cup

Tired from these tears I’ve cried



Jesus, just sing me a song

Rock me to sleep in your arms

No doubt my day will be long

But without sleep, it will also be hard



My alarm clock is going off

But I’m still awake

So dead on my feet

Awaiting the day



I’m weakening more each hour

Can’t hold myself up anymore

The deprivation over powers

Me as I stumble through my bedroom door



I hold onto my pillow, lie on my bed

But my mind starts talking inside of my head

Jesus, please help me, it’s been so long

Lull me to sleep with a bedtime song
