Settle in and sleep
But there really isn’t time
Is this always true?

We created ones
Can’t be happy with the world
We’re just made for God

Share words of hope and courage
Listen to the songs

Our back yard is a jungle
Sit, enjoy, lean back

And these visits are precious

I go through your sin
But it’s such a little thing!
