In God's Hands

I would like to go to sleep now If you please and would not mind I don’t think I want to wake up Because my true love I cannot find. I have searched the world over Look all places high and low But my true love eludes me And I have nowhere else to go So my travels and search is over I just want to lay down a while and rest I will try to think of one good reason To wake up would be for the best. Right now my heart is failing And my soul is empty and cold There is no love to keep it warm And it is feeling alone and quite old. I have been looking for the kind of love That I have never known before I want to know it just one time Then I would never ask for anything more But it seems to be the impossible dream And I am tired clear to the bone I would like to go to sleep now And maybe just go home. I would walk the path to forever To a place where there is no “old” I would be in heaven’s glory Walking the streets of gold But wishing won’t make it so And God has plans for me He will decide my fate And pick the day I will be free. So I will go to sleep now But not find my eternal rest That is in the hands of God And that will be for the best. Connie Moore
