Stillness of the Night
When I lay beside you
in the stillness of the night.
I thank God for bringing you into my life.
I pray to God for a new night.
When I lay beside you
in the stillness of the night.
I thank God for today and sharing it with you.
I pray to God for a new night.
When I lay beside you
in the stillness of the night.
I thank God for the many years spent together.
I pray to God for a new night.
When I lay beside you
in the stillness of the night.
I thank God for his trust in me to take care of you.
I pray to God for a new night.
When I lay beside you
in the stillness of the night.
I thank God for words not yet spoken,
“It’s okay to let go”
I pray to God for a new night.
