Bedtime Song

Last night as I was preparing to go to bed with SO MANY things just boggling my mind (and not feeling like the best mommy in the world as I had to get a little hard on our girls about some ongoing issues), the song "Near To The Heart Of God" came to my mind. It brought so much peace to my heart and then I began to read in the book of Psalms. I love the books of Psalms and Proverbs.

I would like to share the words to this song and just maybe it will be what you need to get you through today.

Near To The Heart Of God

There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us, who wait before Thee,
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God
A place where we our Saviour meet,
Near to the heart of God
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us, who wait before Thee,
Near to the heart of God.


There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us, who wait before Thee,
Near to the heart of God.
