Now I lay me down to rest
My hearts been to the ultimate test

With this world I’ve seen the light
When You shone it on me so bright

I realized it’s my time to make a choice
To show the strength in my voice

When the rope sits around my neck
And under my feet the release of the deck

The pressure of the crunchy grains
And through my body shocks of pains

In my mind I know it’s right
All this goes through my mind despite

All these occurrences blow my mind
Suddenly my eyes go blind

Now I lay me down to rest
My heart has followed Your quest!
