Singing Over You

Baby crying in the night,Mama holding him so tightAs she sings over him.Calmly puts him into bed,Gently stroking his small headAs she sings over him.Angels linger near seeing every tear;God knows your broken heart tonight.He hears every prayer wrenched from your heart of care,And He sings over you.Yes, He sings over you.Little girl awakes and hearsNoises in the night and fears -Mama sings over her.Music calms the troubled mindBringing sleep to her small childAs she sings over her.Creator of songs in the night,He is the Giver of light.God rejoices in His children’s smilesAs He sings over them.

“The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV).
