Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul
[Verse 2]
By still waters, I lay down with the lambs
In pastures green, I made peace with my soul
And I cared not for the night
While my guiding star shone bright
By still waters, I lay down
I lay down
[Verse 3]
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul
[Verse 4]
At the roadside, I took toll of my times
From dirty streets, I get peace for my soul
May the merciful be right
Are you ready for the night?
At the roadside, I lay down
I lay down
[Verse 5]
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul
[Verse 6]
In deep sorrow, I took flight with the sun
From mountains high, I gained strength for my soul
I proved stronger than the test
When my spirit came to rest
In deep sorrow, I lay down
I lay down
[Verse 7]
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul
[Verse 8]
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul
