  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    Here i lay me down to sleep. To God give my soul to keep if any evil comes to me. That god may waken me. And if I die before I wake. To god I give my soul to keep. There are four corners on my bed. There are four angels at my head. Mathew Mark Luke and John. God bless this bed that I lie on.
