Goodnight

V1
When troubles wash
over me like a flooding ocean
When darkness falls
like the end of the world
When the chill of fear
tells me that there's no way to climb the mountain
it's a dead-end road...
But I'll lay me down
I'll lie down and sleep... a while
I'll wake again
because You'll sustain me
Like a weaned child with its mother
I'll look up from my rest and say, "Goodnight"
Goodnight...

V2
When the falling rain
is like the tears that my heart is crying
When the bitter winter seems
that it'll never turn into spring
When summer's memories
make me wish that I could turn back time,
turn back time...
But I'll lay me down
I'll lie down and sleep... a while
I'll wake again
because You'll sustain me
Like a weaned child with its mother
I'll look up from my rest and say, "Goodnight"
Goodnight...

Chorus
Goodnight,
there is still moonlight to govern my night
Goodnight,
You give sleep to those whom You love
It's Goodnight,
until it's time to sing and awaken the dawn
Goodnight, my Lord,
Goodnight, my God,
Goodnight.

V3
Hold Thou Thy cross
before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom
and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks
and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death O Lord, abide with me

Chorus
Goodnight,
there is still moonlight to govern my night
Goodnight,
You give sleep to those whom You love
It's Goodnight,
until it's time to sing and awaken the dawn
Goodnight, my Lord,
Goodnight, my God,
Goodnight.

Goodnight...
