In the quiet of the night hours,
I place my life in God's care.
I shut out everything else
So I can be alone in prayer.
I love the tranquility I feel
As I just dwell in His presence.
I feel so peaceful, so very blessed.
I recognize His omnicience.
I can pour out my heart in confidence
That He is waiting just to hear.
I praise and thank Him for Himself.
It is such a comfort to feel His Spirit near.
He feels the longing in my heart
To listen to His still, small voice.
I sense His leading in my life
As I am making one more choice.
I rest assured in His love for me.
I give Him my heart in love.
I slip in to sleep and slumber
While He protects me from above.
