Awake And Thinking


When I lie awake at night
And cannot go to sleep
I do not fear the darkness
For I know my soul you keep
The word says you’re my Shepherd
Like a sheep I'll follow you
Even though the storms may come
I know you'll see me through

So as I lie awake tonight
My thoughts I place on you
You are a God who never sleeps
So I know you're awake too
The word says you don't slumber
You're always there for me
So as I lie here quiet Lord
I know that you hear me

I want to tell you I'm so glad
You died to set me free
I want to thank you Lord
For saving even me
I'm so glad you are my friend
You are close as close can be
And you will always be there
To meet my every need

Help me to be that someone
That you can use each day
To help my fellow man
In any kind of way
Help me to spread your love
In everything I do
You're my example Jesus
Help me to follow you.
