Sleep Mary sleep I will be there soon
Entering earth through your precious womb
My child oh My mother of earth
Give Me the gift of birth

Sleep Joseph sleep may you dream of love
And peace to the earth through your
Newborn Son
Oh raise Me with honor and pride
I will stand by your side

CHORUS
And I’ll be in your care
Safely harbored there
My heavenly host will follow Me close
But always remember, please be aware
I will be in your care

Now Israel oh My chosen one
The prophets foretold that this day
Would come
I pray you will know I’m your King
Salvation is what I bring

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Care for Me and shelter Me in childhood
Knowing that someday I’ll have to go
And though it may seem hopeless,
When I’m hanging on the tree
You can know for certain I’ll return
But, until then oh, oh

CHORUS

You’ll be in My care
Safely harbored there
My heavenly host will follow you close
But always remember, please be aware
You will be in My care

You’ll be in My care,
You will be, you’ll be in, you’ll be in My care
Yes, you will, you will be
You will be, you’ll be in, you’ll be in My care

REPEAT
