Bedtime Prayer
Bedtime Blessings: A Prayer for Love and Care
Lyrics
Now I lay me down to sleep
To sleep peacefully
I pray dear Lord that you will keep
Request for God's protection
Your eyes upon this sleeping world
God's watchful gaze on the world
Every little boy and girl
Blessing for all children
Bless the children far away
Blessing for distant children
The ones who don't know how to pray
Concern for those unaware of prayer
Those who are not feeling well
Blessing for the unwell
The little one the slipped and fell
Specifically for a child who fell
Bless the puppy down the street
Blessing for a puppy
The neighbors I have yet to meet
Extended blessing for neighbors
Bless my mom and dad especially
Blessing for parents, especially
Just one more thing I'd like to say
Expression of gratitude before sleep
Before I close another day
Closing thoughts before the day ends
I'd like to thank you Lord for all the ways
Thanksgiving for God's blessings
That You bless me
Recognition of personal blessings
Bless the child whose home is torn
Blessing for a child in a troubled home
The babies who are not yet born
Prayer for unborn babies
Bless the ones who take your word
Blessing for those following God's word
To all the hearts that have not heard
Hope for those who haven't heard God's message
Bless all your children everywhere
Blessing for all children worldwide
I hope they know how much you care
Desire for children to feel God's care
Maybe someday I can go
Hope to personally convey God's love
And tell them that You love them so
Bless Grandma and my Grandpa too
Blessing for friends and their actions
And all my friend and all they do
Blessing for every family member
Bless every twig upon my family tree
Just one more thing I'll say to you
Expression of amazement for God's actions
I'm so amazed by all you do
Thanksgiving for God's continuous blessings
I'll thank you once again because it's true
Gratitude, acknowledging the truth of blessings
That you bless me
