When I lay my head down (when I lay my head down)
To go to sleep (to go to sleep)
And my mommy tells me (and my mommy tells me)
"Not one peep" ("Not one peep")
I can sleep well knowing (I can sleep well knowing)
I am loved (I am loved)
'Cause the Lord is watching ('cause the Lord is watching)
From above (from above)
And even though the Good Shepherd counts sheep
He never sleeps, He never sleeps
And even though the Good Shepherd counts sheep
He never sleeps, He never sleeps
All around the world (all around the world)
There are children far and near (there are children far and near)
Some have trouble sleeping (some have trouble sleeping)
Because of fear (because of fear)
Now they can sleep well knowing (they can sleep well knowing)
They are loved (they are loved)
'Cause the Lord is watching ('cause the Lord is watching)
From above (from above)
And even though the Good Shepherd counts sheep
He never sleeps, He never sleeps
And even though the Good Shepherd counts sheep
He never sleeps, He never sleeps
And even though the Good Shepherd counts sheep
He never sleeps, He never sleeps
And even though the Good Shepherd counts sheep
He never sleeps, He never sleeps
Now I can close my eyes and go to sleep
Knowing that my Jesus is with me
