When Dreams Can Come

Sleep eludes my body;

I lie awake in bed,

My eyes refuse to close.

The worries of the day

And the nagging thoughts of night

Continue to impose.

I long for peaceful rest,

A break from what once was

And what will soon become.

Just a little sweet repose,

When the burdens fall away

And the dreams can come.

Jesus, lend Your mercy,

Please pour on me your grace

And receive my prayer – 

I know You see my plight,

And in Your tender arms

Hold me in Your care. ❤
