Oh my Shephard,
I am here asking you to bless my family now.
Watching your stars in the night sky.
I believe in Jesus because He's here.
Showing me a love so dear.

Mother and Father, sisters and brothers.
Hold us close my Lord I pray.
Let tomorrow be another good day.

Thank you for all that You gave me.
Protect my Mommy and Daddy, I pray thee.
Keep my sisters safe from harm.
God Bless my brother, especially
he's my friend, Dear God you see.

For all that we have today I pray,
sending you thanks from my heart I do pray.
Thank you, Lord for all you give.
Rest here please, where we do live.

Now I lay me down to sleep and I know,
that you will keep me safe within your loving arms.
I believe Lord, safely I stay.
Within my dreams for another day.
