A New Song for Addy

Addy has been having trouble transitioning to her new big-girl bed. She sometimes seems to be afraid, whether it be of something outside of her window or just the dark in general. Today I wrote her a song for us to sing before she goes to bed...

Oh God You are safe,

and I can trust You.

You are strong when I am weak.

So I will not be afraid,

for You are with me

when I wake and when I sleep.

Also, I added some other words in case I want to record a full song at some point. The whole thing is...

Oh God You are safe,

and I can trust You.

You are strong when I am weak.

So I will not be afraid,

for You are with me

when I wake and when I sleep.

So I'll sing this song to You.

For You are good my whole life through.

And when my heart begins to fear,

I will look to You

for Your love is true.

My life is in Your hands.

My hope is in Your plan.

Kristi thinks that the last line of the chorus should be "for Your love is near." But, I don't really like to mess with my original words unless it is an enormously better lyric...plus I feel like the original captures what I mean to convey in the song a little better.
