Close To You

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The darkness settles into rain,

With wind twisting the trees,

And, were I who I once had been,

I’d fall upon my knees

And beg You to watch over me.

I’d cry, “Protect me, please.”

 

But, Lord, I’ve come to understand,

However dark the night,

That You are watching over me

And, much to my delight,

The night will never grow so fierce

That I won’t see Your Light.

 

So, I will lay down peacefully

And wake when night is through,

Knowing that I am always safe

When I am close to You.

 

Psalm 3:5

I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
