Pray With Me Tonight...

Pray with me tonight, before you lie down to take your rest

That none of all these our efforts will ever die or simply go to waste

That even though we are but weak and poor, we'll always be sure to try and do our best

I so beseech you to rise up and kindly heed my humble request

Please pray with me tonight before you lie down to take your rest.

Pray with me tonight before you lie down to get some sleep.

That for every good seed we've sown all through the day, its good fruit is all there will be for both of us to reap

And that for all that has failed us and gone out of our way, the lessons we've learnt are what we'll forever be sure to keep.

You may not really know what exactly to speak while you pray, but even that little effort you make is not looked at as cheap

So would you pray with me tonight before you lie down to get some sleep?

Pray with me tonight, before you even turn out those lights

That tomorrow's concerns will not make this yet another of those long sleepless nights

And that none of our fears will ever come to pass, no matter how much the devil fights

But that our joy will always come in the morning, just as the Psalmist writes.

And that we'll wake up energized to soar further and reach for our greater heights

So won't you pray with me tonight before you even turn out those lights?
