[Verse 1]
I read a Psalm passage at night
So I can, so I can
Watch the way they prayed in olden times
And I read my Psalm passage at night
So I can, so I can
Keep scraps of Scriptures in my mind

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, I sleep so peacefully
'Cause God’s my security
And He's got a hold of me
I turn to Him in faith

[Chorus 1]
Don't switch the radio on -- try and pray -- don’t go
Don't ask for rainchecks -- abide and stay -- don't go
You can't be leaving
'Cause you gotta make time at night and pray, I know

[Verse 2]
And I read a Psalm passage at night
So I can, so I can
Forget the negative news that wrecked your day
And I read my Psalm passage at night
So I can, so I ca
See the light that guides me toward my prize
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, I sleep so peacefully
'Cause God's my security
And He's got a hold of me
I turn to Him and pray

[Chorus 2]
Don’t just go lay down and draw the shades, oh no
Don’t pass up prayin' ’cause the night is late, oh no
I can't just sleep now
Don't be ungrateful to God this day, oh no
Your prayers will shape you
'Cause you’ve got it made if He guides your way, I know

[Instrumental Break]
I know

[Outro]
I say
I read a Psalm passage at night
I read a Psalm passage at night
I read a Psalm passage at night
I pray, too, at night

I read a Psalm passage at night
I read a Psalm passage at night
I read a Psalm passage at night
I ain't lyin' to you
I read a Psalm passage at night
I read a Psalm passage at night
