Sleep My Child

Sleep my child don’t you fear God is listening to every prayer Kneel down beside me bow your head Recite these prayers till you are dead Bless this child and keep him safe From harm and danger and all that’s grave And take me please within his place If need be God his saving grace Times are tough but don’t you cry God is listening he won’t let you die The world is scarey people are lost Do not lose your faith at any cost I watch over you sweet child of mine God is listening just give it time I am here for you forever more Hold on tight it’s a senseless tour
