In the deepest, darkest night
After I’ve switched off the light
Creatures lurk within my room
Planning my demise and doom.
They slither, slink and crawl around
Making not the slightest sound;
Waiting with abated breath
To pounce and scare me half to death.
My heart is pounding in my chest
I’m scared to breathe or move ’round lest
The monsters hiding ‘neath my bed
Decide it’s time that they were fed.
I am so scared; what should I do?
Night after dark night I go through
The same emotions; fear and fright
As soon as I’ve turned off my light.
I remember someone said
(or is it something that I read?)
We should never, ever fear
For God’s Spirit’s always near.
I’m not alone: He’s here with me
And scary monsters must all flee;
When in Jesus’s Name I pray
They have to leave and stay away.
I say a prayer and sing a song
Whilst unseen angels sing along;
They’ve come to guard me as I sleep;
To slay all things which crawl and creep.
