Tonight, Lord, I say a prayer to you.
Before I lay my head down to sleep.
While I try to promise to myself, That I dare not weep.

I pray to you, That you give me the strength to battle the challenges in my life.
As you know, Lord, the pain- It cuts through my heart like a knife.
I pray for all of those who are in pain.
Please let them know, Lord,
That soon enough, they will not hurt again.

My Lord, please come sit near.
Embrace me with your loving warmth.
As it will help dry every shedding tear.

Lord, I can feel your touch.
As I raise my love to you.
My faith in you, and your faith in me- It means so much.

I need you here with me tonight. I know there have been other easier nighttime dreams, But Lord, this time, these tears are so just so hard to fight.
I give my heart to you, And you take my pain- Breaking it in two.
You give me the strength, the power, and the courage to see it through.

Lord, its so amazing, all these things that you do.
Even if its just the simple things,
Like taking away, my nighttime blues
