When I can't sleep...

Last night I tried so hard to sleep and wasn't very successful. It was one of those kind of nights when you are really sleepy and out of it - like your mind is racing through nonsensical things to no end - but you just can't  fall asleep. Which can in turn lead to an un-restful sleep when you finally do drift away. Anyway, I actually tried counting sheep jumping over a fence (which I found boring but apparently not boring enough) and nothing was working. So I decided to turn on this worship song in hopes it would impart some peace which might lead to sweet sleep. I heard this song at church last week and found it online the other day and I just really enjoy it. In the end it did give my mind some peace but as far as sleeping my self was just not having it. Anyway, I just wanted to share the song because it is so beautiful and simple and true. Enjoy and good night!


"...I am the Lord, your peace,
 no evil will conquer you.
Steady now your heart and mind
come into my rest...

...I am your anchor in the wind and the waves.
and I am your steadfast so don't be afraid.
Though your heart and flesh may fail you
I'm your faithful strength
and I am with you wherever you go."

  1. Don't know if you remember this song, but once again, it seems to fit.

    I Cry
    Russ Taff

    When peace cannot be found
    and sleep won't visit me tonight
    a restless mind that I can't tame
    I walk the floor I call Your name
    finally silence and the tears begin to fall

    I Cry
    and You're the one who hears me calling
    I fall
    so easily but You're there to catch me
    say the words that heal me
    I'm safe when I'm with You
    You touch my eyes and I can see

    Oh the comfort that You bring
    when nothing else can reach inside
    sympathetic friends are all around
    their soothing words fall to the ground
    but in silence I feel You here with me

    I Cry
    and You're the one who hears me calling
    I fall
    so easily but You're there to catch me
    say the words that heal me
    I'm safe when I'm with You
    You touch my eyes and I can see

    I Cry
    and You're the one who hears me calling
    I fall
    so easily but You're there to catch me
    say the words that heal me
    I'm safe when I'm with You
    You touch my eyes and I can see

    I'll try to include the video to you as well.

    Love you!
