Until I close my eyes
Lord, no more pain or tears.
Pain that hurts, pain that changes
Turn them all into joy once more.
Until I close my eyes
Lord, no more darkness or sadness
Turn them into sunshine
Fill my days with happy thoughts.
Until I close my eyes
Lord, help me to appreciate life
The moments that make living worthwhile
Right up to the evening of my life.
Until I close my eyes
Lord, help me to see the facts
That you reveal to me in your own way
Let not my vision be clouded by despair.
Until I close my eyes
Lord, be on my side on this earth
The day I lose out here below
Will be the day you want me by your side above.
Until I close my eyes
Lord, if I cannot reach those whom I love
Help them to know they are very much in my love
Not only on this earth but beyond as well.
Until I close my eyes
Lord, let every beat be under your control
Until I draw my last breath in life’s darkest hour
Come personally and escort me home.
