If I should die before I wake
Simple words from a childhood prayer
I always felt a sense of comfort
In warning the devil to beware
Often, stress and grief and worry
Follow me as I seek to sleep
But, just a little talk with Jesus
Brings rest and sweet relief
Some night when I fall asleep
My soul will drift quietly away
And I'll wake up to sleep no more
In that land of endless day
So, if I should die before I wake
Don't waste your tears on me
Just picture me in my Heavenly home
Living pain free and peacefully
