Restless Nights

When I couldn't sleep one evening this poem came to me: It comforts me still though it was years ago I wrote it.

Won't You sit at my side while I fall asleep
Will You sing me a song with words ever sweet
Will You fill me with dreams full of the lovely
Won't You tell me of Jesus, how You and He love me?
Will Your light keep me warm as I fade off to sleep
Grant me trust so I might my worries not keep?
And when I arise, be still at my side
Until dusk dawns once more, Christ Jesus my Lord.
