I sat there, watching my love sleep.
And I prayed that God  always would keep.
Him safe and always in His care
When he's in need, Lord please be there.

I send him off to work
Sometimes with no sleep at all
And I worry about his safety
And the possible death angel's call.

God please keep his mind alert
As on the road he drives.
The schedule that he keeps
I know on this he thrives.

I'll await for his return each time
He's off someplace, a living to earn
Knowing God is keeping watch
Happy that it's to me he will return.
