Before I lay me down to rest,
I ask the Lord one small request.
I know I have all I could need,
but this prayer is not for me.
Too many people on this day
have prayed for me.
Don't have a peaceful place to stay.
Let our fighting cease,
that your children may see peace.
Wipe their tears of sorrow away.
Do believe in a day
when I will be with you.

When hunger and war will pass away.
To have a hope amidst despair.
That every sparrow's counted,
that you'll hear the cry
and listen to each prayer.
Let me try always,
to believe
that we can hear
the hearts that breathe.
Please help us not ignore
the anguish cries of the poor.
For the pain will never leave.
To believe in a day
when hunger and war will pass away.




Father, as you see, I'm just a child.
But if your grace should surround me, then I'll do the best I can.
I promise that I will do the very best I can.
In a day when hunger and war will pass away,
to have a home, our next is there.
That every star will sound it, that you hear the cries and listen to each.
The cries and listen to each.
Amen.
Amen.
Help us do your work.
Lord, we'll love Father in the name of all that's true.
And we'll see in one another the loving image of you.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
