Nighttime Shadows

When shadows of the night engulf me Closing in from far to near I tightly close my eyes and flee. What is it I have to fear? Hanging on for world to calm Closing in from far to near In my mind I speak a Psalm Breathing slowly, letting go Hanging on for the world to calm. Gentler breezes start to blow Coming back my mind at ease Breathing slowly, letting go. Praying someday, if God please Nighttime will not fill with fear Coming back, my mind at ease Night is fading; it is clear When shadows of the night engulf me Nighttime will not fill with fear I tightly close my eyes and flee.
