10. Lullaby: Go to sleep my little one

The tune of this song came first, rather than the words, as I sat at the piano grieving over the death of a young girl, a former pupil of mine, due to a road accident.

Through prayer I received a mental picture of a child held in God’s arms. I knew she had found peace in Him.

Intro: instr based on verse

1st capo G

G                                 Am7            D7sus   D7            G

Go to sleep, my little one,  rest well in  God’s arms.

                               Am7                  D7sus   D7   G

For you are a child of His, rest  in  love.

G                                  Am7         D7sus)     D7               G

Go to sleep my little one,  now that  night has come,

                                         Am7                      D7sus  D7   G                     

Morning time will soon be here,  rest  in   peace.

G                                        Am7                    D7sus  D7            G

Go to sleep bright shining light,  you’ll forever  shine.

                       Am7          D7sus D7    G              

You will always be my child,  God’s and mine. (repeat verse 1)
