A Song - I Sleep and I Wake
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer's Foreword
Some of us think it is a right to wake up after we have slept, but it is not a right it is a privilege granted those of us who are alive today by God to show forth his beauty, power and majesty.
Thinking abouy how God has been helping me to lay and wake again, I decide to give him praises as the Psalmist did by composing this short song.
Thank you
Composed Song
1) Oh my Father and Lord
You've not left me alone
For you 've preserved me
I have not sleep, sleep of death.
Chorus
2) During the night you preserve me
Your angels surround me
Taking me in their arms
Protectinh me from all assault
Chorus
3) Arrows enemies aimed at me.
When I was deeply asleep
They do not hut me
'Cause you have shielded me
Chorus
4) Enterprises of the devil
On me have not succeed
Oh glory Lord
I 'll keep glorifying you
Chorus
5) I am alive today my Lord
'Cause you are my refuge Lord
Glory be unto your name
Dear Lord Preserver of life
Chorus
6) Another chance you 've given me
To show forth your glory on earth
My Father I thank you
For sparing my life Lord
Chorus

I love the idea that angels are around us as we sleep, Olusegun. This is another lovely praise song.
