A Good Night Sleep By Kenny Davis
A Good Night Sleep by Kenny Davis
There have been many nights I have laid there awake
The late night toss and turns are becoming more than I can take
The endless tossing and turning with very little success
Only getting a minute or two of sleep, maybe less
Many sleepless nights, wondering if something is wrong
Seems like those nights drag on way too long
Lord, when is it going to be my time of rest?
When will I be able to abandon my sleepless distress?
Forced to keep my eyes open because of the midnight frights
All of them due to these many sleepless nights
My sleeplessness lasts from hours to a week
Lord, will you come end my sleepless streak?
Then as soon as I realized, in a bright flash
I seemed to be floating in a glorious dream at last
Wait! Look there! In the midst of all the light
A holy man standing there in clothes so bright
He welcomed me into his arms and whispered,”Well done.”
“Now lay your head and rest my son.”
As he comforted me with a gentle smile on his face
He covered me with a blanket of love with just a touch of his grace
After many endless nights ending in sorrow and weep
He finally blessed me with a well deserved good night sleep
