Lyrics:

Let's go dreamin'

Let me take you to a place where the children play (dreamin', dreamin')
Where the puppy dogs run and never run away (dreamin', dreamin')
Where the trees stay green, flowers always bloom (dreamin', dreamin')
You can ride a rainbow right around the room (dreamin', dreamin')

Chorus:
(Anything) Everything your heart has ever wanted
(Want to go) Every place you want to go
(Just lay down) Close your eyes, snuggle up, you sleepy-head
(And let go) Now relax, just let go

Let's go dreamin'
Crystal streamin'
Bright moon-beamin'
Let's go dreamin' (let's go dreamin')
Dreamin'

We can travel to a time when the sun shines bright (dreamin', dreamin')
When the people love each other and they're doin' right (dreamin', dreamin')
It's a happy time and friends are having fun (dreamin', dreamin')
Oh, peace and joy and lovin' for everyone (dreamin', dreamin')

Repeat Chorus

Let's go dreamin'
Crystal streamin'
Bright moon-beamin'
Let's go dreamin'

Bridge:
Jesus hears you praying (say your prayers)
Precious words you're saying (think of Him)
Sees you when you're sleepin' (see your dreams)
Holds you when you're dreamin' (dreamin')

We can swim real fast, we can jump real high (dreamin', dreamin')
We can run real far, we can even fly (dreamin', dreamin')
We can play in the snow and we'll not get cold (dreamin', dreamin')
We can live forever and not grow old (dreamin', dreamin')

Repeat Chorus

Let's go dreamin' (Let's go dreamin')
Crystal streamin' (Crystal streamin')
Bright moon-beamin' (Bright moon-a-beamin')
Let's go dreamin' (Come dream with me)
Let's go dreamin' (Let's go dreamin')
Let's go dreamin' (Let's go dreamin')

Lyrics:

Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak, but He is strong
They are weak, but He is strong (I know that)
(He is strong, He is my Father, He's strong, He is strong)

Jesus loves the children dear
Children far away and near
They are safe within His care
Every day and everywhere
(His love is every day, He loves them anyway
His love is every day, He loves them anyway)
Every day and everywhere (every day, everywhere)

Interlude

Jesus, take this heart of mine
Make it pure and wholly Thine
Thou hast bled and died for me
I will henceforth live for Thee
I will live for Thee
I will henceforth live for Thee
(Yes, Jesus loves me - the Bible tells me so)

Lead: Steve Reischl and Kimberly Lancaster
Sample: Windows Media

Lyrics:

Thank You Lord for Mommy and Daddy (thank You, Father)
For my little brother and the slide in the park (thank You, oh my Lord)
Please dear Lord watch over my family (thank You, dear Father)
Please keep me safe when my room is dark (thank You, oh my Lord)

A simple thought, so innocent
A sweet aroma heaven sent
From one who's much too young to be this wise
And God replies:

Chorus:
Child of Mine, (child of Mine) I have heard your prayer
It's gonna be fine (gonna be fine), it's gonna be fine (gonna be fine)
Child of Mine, your faith's beyond compare
It's gonna be fine, (it's gonna be fine) it's gonna be fine, child of Mine

Thank You God for giving me a puppy (thank You Father)
For Grandpa and Grammy, and for loving me too (thank You, oh my Lord)
Please dear God, I know You're busy (thank You, dear Father)
Thank You for listening when I need You (thank You, oh my God)

A simple thought, so innocent
A sweet aroma heaven sent
From one who's much too young to be this wise
And God replies

Repeat Chorus

(I know your parents love you too) I know your parents love you too
(I will bless them) So I will bless them just like you (just like you, I'll bless them, child of Mine)

Repeat Chorus (x2)

(It's gonna be fine)

Scriptural Reference:

"The Lord said to him: 'I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.'" 1 Kings 9:3

Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song

Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her tight
Gonna hold my baby till the morning light

I will love this child so small and meek
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her tight
Gonna hold my baby till the morning light
Gonna let her know that nothing's wrong
Gonna hold my baby and sing this rocking song

Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (this child)

Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby, wipe away her tears
I will keep on rocking till she feels all right
Gonna sing her songs about Jesus Christ (Jesus)
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby, wipe away her tears
I will cradle my child until the pain is gone
Gonna hold my baby and sing this rocking song

Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (sing this rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song

Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby through the tender years
As she starts to learn, as she starts to grow
I will show her things she needs to know
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby through the tender years
As she moves away and the days grow long
I will pray for my baby and sing this rocking song

Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (and sing this rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song

Gonna hold this child though she's far away
Gonna hold my baby like it's yesterday
Though I may not see and I may not know
Gonna keep on praying rocking to and fro (to and fro)
Gonna hold this child though she's far away
Gonna hold my baby like it's yesterday
Gonna let her know my love's lifelong
While she hold her baby and sings her rocking song

Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (and sing this rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (sings her rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (sings her rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song

Lyrics:

Chorus 1:
Close your eyes
Nothing will harm you
His love will never fade with the sun
Close your eyes
Let nothing alarm you
Jesus will hold you 'til morning comes

There is peace in the Spirit (peace in the Lord)
Like the peace in our home (peace in the home)
Though the house may seem quiet (ever quiet)
It doesn't mean you're alone (never alone)
Someone is watching (Jesus is watching)
As you lay down your head (lay down your head)
You can rest in assurance (calm assurance)
When your prayers have been said (close your little eyes)

Chorus 2:
So close your eyes (close your eyes)
Nothing will harm you
His love will never fade with the sun (fade away)
Close your eyes (close your little eyes)
Let nothing alarm you
Jesus will hold you 'til morning comes (hold you)

You're looking for reasons (reasons for life)
You're looking for rhyme (searching for rhyme)
Curiosity strengthens (God is so good)
And the questions combine (questions)
The search for your answers (answers to life)
Have come to an end (come to an end)
But tomorrow is coming (come tomorrow)
And you can start it again (close your little eyes)

Repeat Chorus 2

And now as you rest (now as you rest)
And the Spirit abides
Dream of the angels (dream of the angels)
Who live in the light
Dream of a Father (dream of a Father)
Who's holding you tight
Hold on (hold on) to Him
Hold on (hold on)…

Lead: Robert C. Guy and Gary Moyers
Sample: Windows Media

Lyrics:

Fear not my child; the storm you hear
Will pass on through the night
The beauty of tomorrow
Will always shed new light

Dark clouds will soon just melt away
To bring a brighter day
So don't you fear; you're not alone
God hears you when you pray

Chorus 1:
So I close my eyes to sleep at night
As my Father gently says
"The winds and rains your soul can't harm
So trust in Me and don't fear the storm"

I'll shelter you and keep you safe
When rain falls on your head
I'll send My guardian angels there
To stand around your bed

I remember Daddy telling me
That rain comes now and then
But my heav'nly Father watches me
Through nights of storms and winds

Chorus 2:
I'll stay right here (stay right here) asleep in bed (asleep in bed)
Where it's safe and warm
The winds and rains (winds and rains) my soul can't harm (soul can't harm)
I'll trust in You and not fear the storm

Dark clouds will soon just melt away
To bring a brighter day
So don't you fear; you're not alone
God hears you when you pray

Interlude

Don't fear the storm

(Don't fear, don't fear) (x4)
Don't Cry

Don't Cry

Lyrics:

Don't cry

Listen to the raindrops fallin'
Gently calling you to sleep
Can't you hear the raindrops fallin'
Soon you'll be in a land of dreams

See the shadows moving on the wall (shadows on the wall)
They're only angels in disguise (angels in disguise)
There's no need to fear at all (don't fear, don't fear, don't fear, don't fear)
You're being watched by heavenly eyes (heavenly eyes)

Chorus 1:
Don't cry (cry)
I'll always be here
Don't cry (cry)
I'll always be near
Don't cry (cry)
There's always a better day
Don't cry
Tomorrow's just a prayer away

Do you feel my arms wrapped around you (arms around your shoulder)
I never want to let you go (never let you go)
There will be a day when I'll need to
I thank the Lord He's in control

Repeat Chorus 1

(If it rains all) If it rains all night, and it rains all day (if it)
(If it) It'll be okay (if it rains, it will be okay)
If it rains all day (if it rains all day), and it rains all night (if it rains all night)
Everything will be all right (please don't cry)

Chorus 2:
Don't cry (cry)
I'll always be here
Don't cry (cry)
I'll always be near
Don't cry (cry)
There's always a better day
Don't cry
It'll be okay

Don't cry (listen to the raindrops)

Lover of a Sleeping Child

Lyrics:

You can see it clearly
In a baby's eyes
It's always unexpected
Such a sweet surprise

It's the love of God (it is the love of God)
It's the love of God (it is the love of God)
Shining through (shining through, shining through, shining through)

Chorus:
He's the lover of a sleeping child (sleeping child)
A gentle Father through the night (through the night)
He's the lover of a sleeping child (He's the lover of a sleeping child)
And you can close your eyes (you can close your eyes)
It'll be all right (it'll be all right)
He's the lover of a sleeping child tonight (tonight, tonight)

It's in a mother's answer
When a baby cries (her baby cries)
So patient and so tender (so tender)
Makes you realize (makes you realize)
That it's the love of God (it is the love of God)
It's the love of God (it is the love of God)
Shining through (shining through, shining through, shining through)

The Father of all the world (the world)
Wants you to understand (understand)
Wherever you are tonight
You're in the Father's hands (you're in His hands)

Sleep tight good night
