So reading the lyrics you may notice that this isn't a praise and worship song. A little story behind that:
I work as Business & Technology Director at El Camino and each year we have a staff Christmas party. This year, instead of a "traditional" white elephant, Pastor Ron decided that all staff members should a love language gift (this is from the "5 Love Languages"...words of affirmation, acts of service, etc.). I decided that for mine, I would write a song on the subject and in the styling that the person wanted. One of our Children's Ministry assistant directors, Lindsey, wound up with mine and she asked for a nice acoustic song for her kids, Alayna and AJ.
Being as God has not yet blessed me to be a father, this song has been the hardest to write so far. However, I thought back to my childhood and remembered that I always loved when my parents tucked me in at night. I'm sure that must be a really special time for parents as well so I based my song around that idea.
Lindsey, I hope you enjoy the song and that it's something you and James can sing to Alayna & AJ. Merry Christmas!!

Lyrics:
Verse: Go to sleep my child, rest your weary head
Close your eyes, let your worries fade far beyond your bed
Today is gone but tomorrow brings another gift
And I don't want to miss a second
So I'll be right here waiting for you
Chorus: Cause when I kiss you goodnight and pray God keeps you safe
When I hold you in my arms until you're fast asleep
When I sing you a lullaby though I don't know the words
When I kiss you goodnight, I'll stay till morning breaks
Bridge: And I, I wanted you to know
That I, I love you more than my words can
Describe, so I'll sit and sing you this lullaby
Verse: Go to sleep my child, rest your weary head
Close your eyes, let your worries fade far beyond your bed
Today is gone but tomorrow brings another gift
And I don't want to miss a second
So I'll be right here waiting for you
Chorus: Cause when I kiss you goodnight and pray God keeps you safe
When I hold you in my arms until you're fast asleep
When I sing you a lullaby though I don't know the words
When I kiss you goodnight, I'll stay till morning breaks
Bridge: And I, I wanted you to know
That I, I love you more than my words can
Describe, so I'll sit and sing you this lullaby
