Shelter of Your Arms

Now I lay me down to sleep and if I sleep perhaps I’ll dream

And if I dream, I’ll be with you in the shelter of your arms

I pray that God will lengthen night and grant me time before the light

For the light of day will take me from the shelter of your arms

And though I know it’s just a dream, a dream that soon must end

The arms I feel, I know are real and I’m happy once again

And if I die while I am asleep, I pray my dreams He’ll let me keep

And carry me through eternity in the shelter of your arms

And though I know it’s just a dream, a dream that soon must end

The arms I feel, I know are real and I’m happy once again

And if I die while I am asleep, I pray my dreams He’ll let me keep

And carry me through eternity in the shelter of your arms
