Deborah Joy Imani Winans; Mary Mary Lyrics

I lay me down tonight
I am taking the time to reflect and meditate on my thoughts and feelings.

Searching for words to say

Calling out your name

But Lord its me again
Although I have come to God before, I am seeking his guidance once more.

Ready for something new
I am willing and eager to make positive changes in my life.

Please rest upon ma heart

Like the morning dew
