Fall Asleep In Jesus Lyrics

Like a mother with her baby lying against her chest

Her gentle hands know when the time is best

To tuck her child in tightly and lay them down to rest

And pray to God that they'll continue to be blessed

The Lord grants sleep to His children that He loves also

And lays to rest their bodies in sweet repose

Bringing calm and peace knowing they will never be alone

And sends His Angels down to guide them all back home

Fall asleep in Jesus, your hour of rest has finally come

Fall asleep in Jesus, your long goodnight has arrived

Fall asleep in Jesus, hear His lullaby calling you home

Fall asleep in Jesus, to awake at Heaven's gate

When that evening sun sets down on me one final time

And the dim lit stars above prepare to brightly shine.

My last breath I take knowing that all will be just fine

I am ready dear Lord, take my soul for it is truly Thine

Fall asleep in Jesus, your hour of rest has finally come

Fall asleep in Jesus, your long goodnight has arrived

Fall asleep in Jesus, hear His lullaby calling you home

Fall asleep in Jesus, to awake at Heaven's gate

Fall asleep in Jesus, hear His lullaby calling you home

Fall asleep in Jesus, to awake at Heaven's gate

Fall asleep in Jesus, to awake at Heaven's gate
