Lyrics
Intro
(Can we do that? Okay.)
(Last breath and then I'm praying. We gotta be a little quieter and calm down, okay?)
(Okay.)
(Calm down, calm down. Jesus is being good to you. Calm down. Okay, I'm gonna... I'm gonna pray.)
Verse
Father, I thank You for these beautiful ones
These precious ones, in whom is all...
(I'll figure it out, what they think.)
Tonight I ask that You keep them through the night
You'd watch over them and protect them
And quiet their fears
Let them sleep easy
And let it restore their bodies and their souls
Chorus
When morning breaks over them
I pray that the first thing they would know
Is that they're loved
Not for what they've done
Not for what they'll become
But because they're Yours
You're kids
Outro
Let tomorrow be full of joy and wonder
Go before them
Walk beside them
And find them if they wander
In Jesus' name
Amen

Meaning & Inspiration
Cory Asbury presents this track as a spoken bedtime prayer rather than a conventional worship song. A father asks God to guard his children through the night, quiet their fears, and let them wake knowing they are loved because they belong to God—not because of achievement. The closing blessing asks for joy, guidance, and God’s pursuit if they wander.
