Oh Lord, As I Lay Down To Sleep

  Fear not of the undiscovered journey - 
   the souls’s compass will show you the way ~ the poet  

 When the curtain finally falls
and angel’s soft chimed voices calls
there are no mourning tears to seep
Oh Lord, as I lay down to sleep.

Time to set forth upon my way
towards that honeyed, nectar ray
Pray not my dear loved ones to weep
Oh Lord, as I lay down to sleep.

Shell left behind for pure sheer bliss
all mind’s attachments to dismiss
eternal life so shall I reap
Oh Lord, as I lay down to sleep.

Loving arms gently guiding me
amongst heavenly sights I see
my saviour at my side to keep
Oh Lord, as I lay down to sleep.

Soul radiant as it takes flight
fleeing shackles from dark to light
Pray not my dear loved ones to weep
Oh Lord, I awake from deep sleep.

Panagiota Romios Date: 4/26/2024 7:48:00 PM Fav from Pangie, I think living ,is far more frightening than dying. You were raised to doubt God I feel sorry for you. Trusting human being that’s the downfall of a lot of people.. William, I known for being peaceful people we are known for hurting them. I’m only speaking from my experience so I’m gonna make sure all understand.. Excellent! PR It depends on what you’re reading regarding internal life. I’m referring to only the Old Testament or the New Testament.. they don’t compare.
