  D                               
His mother prayed sleep tight, my 
G             D
child, sleep well
                     G
For I'll be at your side
D                           
Let no shadow, no darkness, no

tolling bell
                    A          D
Shall pierce your dreams this night


VERSE 4
  D             G        D
In the garden at Gethsemane
He prayed for the life he'd never 
G
live
D                 G          D
He beseeched his heavenly Father
                            A      
To remove the cup of death from his
  D
 lips

  D                         G     
Now there's a loss that can never 
   D
be replaced
A destination that can never be 
    G
reached
D                             
A light you'll never find in a 
G         D
mother's face
                         A      
The sea whose distance cannot be 
     D
breached

Well, Jesus kissed his mother's

hands
And whispered, mother please still

your tears

For remember the soul of the 
       D
universe
                   A      D
Willed a world and it appeared.
