Sweet Dreams
by Barbara Philbrook

Sweet dreams are a gift from our Father out of love.
Sweet dreams are sent to us from above.

When you lie down you needn't feel fear,
because our loving Father's protection is near.

If you don't believe or are plagued by doubt,
read in proverbs three twenty four, it's all spelled out.

We are promised that our sleep will be sweet,
that over our dreams God has the defeat.

Can you imagine a love so great,
that even about our dreams there is no debate.

God does not lie, you can count it as so,
and expect sweet dreams as off to bed you go.

Tell the children who have cried in the night,
God is with you so you needn't feel any fright.

Order those bad dreams to hastily depart,
because you have accepted Jesus into your heart.

Open your Bible and read it in there,
then off to bed with you without any care.

Sweet dreams are now to be yours each night,
when you awake in the morning you'll be full of delight.
