NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP

And close my eyes and hope to see
Starry skies and moonlit pathways
To your shining Kingdom of lights
With colors of greatest brilliance and rays

I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP

For every day upon this earth
To preserve the light within my soul
And protect my love for you
From earthly seductions set to take control

IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE

Guide me thru the galaxies
To your Kingdom with precious lights
And perfections that show
The excellency of prophetic writes

I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE

That my ending should be filled
With wonder and breathlessness
Knowing that I achieved
Your audience, in my battle dress…

Attaining the ultimate prize of the high calling!
