Rise We Are Beloved

I saw a little boy lying down to sleep
He prayed to God his soul to keep
His love to guard him through that night
And wake him up for a morning fight
The angels watched him through that night
Kept him safe with their light!

Hold my death until I die
Hold my death
Hold my tears through the night
Hold my tears

We are beloved
Rise above this
We are beloved
Rise above

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
Bless me God my soul to take

Hold my death until I die
Hold my death
Hold my fear through the night
Hold my fears

We are beloved
Rise above this
We are beloved
Rise above this

Behold this child’s heart

We are beloved
Rise above this
We are beloved
Rise above this

We are beloved
We are beloved
We are beloved
Rise above this
