"He Grants Sleep To Those He Loves"

Today was so full

And so busy for both of us

But for tonight all those burdens can keep

Come let sweet Jesus be the Light in your darkness

And open the door to the Paradise of sleep

Your tender sadness, it touches the heart of me

Howling and scowling just make you more dear

With all this commotion now what could the trouble be?

For Love's sake my darling I'll always be here

For he grants sleep to the ones that He loves

And I live to love you as well

The last words you'll hear tonight will be "I love you"

For love takes us all of a lifetime to tell

words by Michael Card, based on Psalm 127:2
