Dear Lord, I thank you for today,
It was so much fun to run and play,
The chores are done and the animals are fed,
And once again it's time for bed.
Bless Mommy and Daddy and Brother too,
And help me now to trust in you.
Mommy says you watch me while I sleep,
Like a shepherd watches over his sheep.
I know that Mommy does not lie,
And I believe her now or at least I try.
So dear Lord, keep me through the night,
Help me to know everything's all right.
When I'm alone in bed and it's dark outside,
Let me in your peace abide.
I know I need to sleep and rest,
So that tomorrow I can do my best. Amen
The Lord is my Shepherd, he supplies every need!
In lush green pastures my soul He does feed!
Beside the still waters where no sea billows roll,
He gently leadeth me and restoreth my soul!
Then when life's winds are howling around me,
And so many things happen that I just don't understand,
I do not fear for clearly I can see,
Jesus standing close by with an outstretched hand!
I feel so unworthy to kneel in God's presence,
So at His dear feet humbly I bow.
And yes, I may just be the least in His kingdom,
But, I feel God's loving hand touching me right now!
Though I may walk in the midst of hard trials,
Foot sore and weary with my head hanging low,
To the end of my journey I know He will help me,
Guiding my footsteps as Homeward we go!
If you'll listen close to your heart...
You'll find my heart is beating there, too.
And no matter how far, from each other we are,
Just remember, my love follows you.
And down through the years,
we've shared laughter and tears,
As our love turns the pages of time...
Please remember I'll stay, just a heartbeat away...
We'll still be walking with your hand in mine.
And when my hair turns silver, replacing the gold,
We'll still need each other, to have, and to hold.
Then when this life has ended, and our time is through,
Just remember my love follows you.
And when the death angel comes;
From out of the blue...
Please remember,
My love follows you.
