now i lay me down to sleep…

Now beside my bed I kneel
I pray the Lord my soul to heal
If God will take away this pain
I vow to love myself again

Sometimes I can't help but cry
My soul is heavy; so alone am I
Forgiven, loved, enabled... I know
While feeling so small, afraid, alone

But while suffocating in waters deep
He holds me as I sob and weep
He whispers, Child, it's all right now
I try to believe although I don't know how

Terrified by the past that scares
I'm surrounded by angels and need not fear
Loosen my grip on the scars and shame
It's time to move on; there's healing to claim

Now I lay me down to sleep
Although I cry and though I weep
You'll strengthen me to make it through
With Your sweet peace to begin anew
