Sleep in Peace

Story Behind The Song

This song was originally titled "Lullaby for Sydney. I decided to revise it and record it as more of an all-faiths song rather than just a Christian song. Sydney was one of my young fans who was having kidney trouble. So I began writing the song for her...and it evolved. (Sydney's kidneys need a touch, from the Lord who loves so much" Believe it or not, that's how the song got started.

Lyrics

Now it's time to rest my head
On my warm and cozy bed.
God is watching over me
While I slumber, while I sleep.

Sun has crept behind the hill;
Moonlight on my windowsill.
Stars are twinkling overhead
As I lay upon my bed.

In peace
I will
Lay down
And sleep
For You
O Lord
Make me to dwell in safety.

Crickets chirp into the night
Daddy's turning off my light.
Praying for his little one
When another day is done. In peace....

God will never close His eyes.
Mommy says I must close mine.
In the light or darkness deep.
God will hold me while I sleep.

Yes, God is watching over me
While I slumber, while I sleep.

absolutely beautiful... love it!

Another nice song with meaning

This is a masterclass on how to write and perform a lullaby. Beautiful lyrics. I love the instrumentation - the piano and harp give it a dreamy feel which fit the lyrics perfectly. A really emotive lead vocal and great use of children's voices as backing vocals and reply lines.
