Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
But if I die before it’s day
There’s something more I need to say
If you’ve ever felt cherished
Or safe here with me
If you’ve felt like you’re special
Or who you should be
If you’ve been filled with hope
By things you can’t see
I can assure you
That wasn’t me
Those things are gifts
From your Father above
Things I can’t give you
They come through His love
He put you together
With His very own hands
You’d be amazed
If you knew of His plans
If you’ve ever felt empowered
Or that you were strong
If you’ve known what is truth
Or what’s right and wrong
If you’ve ever pressed on
When the journey was long
It was because of His Spirit
And because of His song
Those things are gifts
From your Father above
Things I can’t give you
They come through His love
He put you together
With His very own hands
You’d be amazed
If you knew of His plans
But if I’ve ever hurt you
Or made you feel small
If I’ve led you astray
Or caused you to fall
That was my weakness
And not from His heart
He longs to heal you
And to make a new start
That’s just a gift
From your Father above
A thing I can’t give you
It comes from His love
He yearns to touch you
With His very own hand
Seek Him today
And yield to His plan
