In God's Hands
I would like to go to sleep now
If you please and would not mind
I don’t think I want to wake up
Because my true love I cannot find.
I have searched the world over
Look all places high and low
But my true love eludes me
And I have nowhere else to go
So my travels and search is over
I just want to lay down a while and rest
I will try to think of one good reason
To wake up would be for the best.
Right now my heart is failing
And my soul is empty and cold
There is no love to keep it warm
And it is feeling alone and quite old.
I have been looking for the kind of love
That I have never known before
I want to know it just one time
Then I would never ask for anything more
But it seems to be the impossible dream
And I am tired clear to the bone
I would like to go to sleep now
And maybe just go home.
I would walk the path to forever
To a place where there is no “old”
I would be in heaven’s glory
Walking the streets of gold
But wishing won’t make it so
And God has plans for me
He will decide my fate
And pick the day I will be free.
So I will go to sleep now
But not find my eternal rest
That is in the hands of God
And that will be for the best.
