In the lap of summer
I lay my head.
Mind, body
and soul well fed.
Comfortable and quiet,
soothing sounds are
of a lullaby.
This is all the good of God
showing that
He's real and close nearby.
In the lap of summer
I feel safe
from the fears that beset me
this is where I escape.
Ever so softly
you'll sing me to sleep
I'm safe in your keeping
and sigh with release
in the lap of summer -
I know true peace
