lyrics

Draw Near
Words and music © Heather Pirie (Listen, 2005)

Too afraid to close my eyes and sleep under skies of war
When’s the next shot going to rip right through this canvas door
I am paralyzed with fear
It’s time to draw near…

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the God my soul will keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the God my soul will take

Too scared to stop and rest for fear of losing a life
Children wait their turn with faith in the healing of my knife
I can’t see through my tears
It’s time to draw near…

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the God my soul will keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the God my soul will take

I’m not ready to go
I’m not ready to go
I’ve not done my part
To help this place
Help this place

Too alive to sit and shake as another brave soldier dies
Hope’s restoring, time’s pouring tomorrow’s sunrise
It’ll be alright you hear
It’s time to draw near…

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the God my soul will keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the God my soul will take
