Lyrics
[Verse]
Lord before I close my eyes
I have one prayer to say
Watch over everyone I love
And guide them on their way
Keep them safe when I’m not near
Be with them through the day
And when the road gets dark and long
Please be their guiding way
[Chorus]
God keep my family safe
Hold them in your hands
Watch over every step they take
Wherever life may lead them
When I cannot be there with them
Lord please stay by their side
[Verse]
God keep my family safe
And keep them in your care
Protect the ones who face each morning
Going out to meet the day
Give them wisdom when they wonder
And keep their feet your way
For the children that I’ve raised
And the ones I call my own
Let them always know your love
Will never leave them alone
[Chorus]
God keep my family safe
Hold them in your hands
Watch over every step they take
Wherever life may lead them
When I cannot be there with them
Lord please stay by their side
[Bridge]
And when I cannot change their troubles
When I cannot ease their pain
I’ll place them in your loving care
And trust you once again
[Chorus]
God keep my family safe
Hold them in your hands
Watch over every step they take
Wherever life may lead them
When I cannot be there with them
Lord please stay by their side
[Outro]
God keep my family safe
And keep them in your care
So I’ll leave them in your keeping
And trust them to your grace
Thank you Lord for those I love
And keep them in your care
