I lay down

And I close my eyes

But I won't go to sleep tonight

There's too much on my mind

Holy God

You seem to be twice as far away from me

Than you have ever been before



[chorus]

Hold me safely in Your arms

And clear my crowded mind

And whisper words of peace

In the dark

Whisper to me

Oh, whisper



I'm afraid but they don't know it

I feel so weak

But I can't show it

So here I lay

Crying out with tears



[chorus]

Hold me gently in Your arms

And calm my beating heart

And whisper words of hope

In the dark

Whisper to me

Oh, whisper



Whisper

Make the day sleep

Make the noise cease

And give me peace

Whisper to me

How I need to hear You whisper

Whisper to me

Oh, Whisper



[chorus] 

Hold me gently in Your arms

And calm my beating heart

And whisper words of hope 

In the dark

Whisper to me

Words of hope

Words of peace

Whisper to me
