By Amanda McKinney

My cares I cast on Thee

My tender, loving Lord

When life is overwhelming

And throws me overboard.

My mind may be a jumble

My body, weak and worn

Its then You grab and hug me

And in Your lap I'm Borne

To sleep in Your safe arms

No worries, cares, or stress

To be embraced and loved

Is my forever rest.

Your words surround and comfort

Your tender love embrace

With gentle strength and guidance

I'm led into Your grace.

A peace so freeing

A sleep infused with calm

My caring, tender, loving Lord

Has wrapped me in His arms.
