Lay me down on sheets of plenty
Blanketed by thee
Lay me top a blameless pillow
Lay me down, I plea.
Lay me 'neath the wings of life
Spread across the sky
Lay me in the hands of time
Lay me down, I cry.
Lay me with the flower of love
Scented by pure truth
Lay me round a tree of friends
Lay me down, my youth.
Lay me where a pure heart rules
Strengthened day by day
Lay me where my soul can breathe
Lay me down, I pray.
Lay me under a satiny sun
Glowing bright and new
Lay me where my heart can live
Lay me down with you.
