As I Watch You Sleep

~I cannot live be not your love

in that be hell below above~

~You be an Angel full my soul

in that more precious be of gold~

~You taint my heart in loving song

in that array be your adorn~

~Your touch be that of tenderness

be full dulcet in sumptuous~

~Of that your kiss elixir be

in of your lips felicity~

~Your shape be lissome that of beaut

waving tremors be my imbued~

~In that my heart becomes alive

racing strong be that in thrive~

~My blood runs hot be that in flush

my thoughts in ponder be your touch~

~Be that you whisper in my ear

in gentle breath I love you Dear~

~Be all in this be that a kiss

be that my thought in wondrous bliss~

~Now I watch you sleep this night

I thank my God in of your life~

~In that he blessed me in your love

be all I want be you enough~

~I pray we might we always be

together be eternity~

~Love

As I Lay Next To You

As I lay next to you at night,                                      

I can see a bright light!

It’s as bright as can be,

brighter than I’ve ever seen!

It’s the light of God’s sweet love,

and it’s coming from Heaven above!

It shines upon you in sleep,

because your soul he does keep!

He has his Angels watching over you,

because he loves you too!

Your so beautiful laying  in my bed,

I thank God it’s you he gave me to wed!

You’re the kindest and most loving of all,

and you make me feel life and stand tall!

I’ll love you ‘til the end of time,

and always be proud that you’re mine!

I don’t want to sleep sometimes at night,

 ‘cause I don’t want to miss that beautiful sight!
