Saturday 8/1/09 - "NOW I LAY ME"

"NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP"

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
Bless and watch me through the night,
And wake me with the morning light.

(18th century children's prayer. Version printed in "The New England Primer".)

"NOW I LAY MY SELF-WILL DOWN"

Now I lay my self-will down
And ask dear God, please keep me sound
In body and soul, in spirit and mind
May all these parts become aligned.

"NOW I LAY MY OWN LIFE DOWN"

Now I lay my own life down
To help the lost who now may drown
In that sadness sea that drink creates
My heart your outstretched hand awaits

"NOW I PICK THE TWELVE STEPS UP"

Now I pick the twelve steps up
To get a look inside - closeup
To lead and guide to God above
And find that place inside of love
