Original Composition: Sleep In Heavenly Peace (Little Tiny Baby Toes)





Little tiny baby toes,
wrapped up tight in swaddling clothes.
Sparkling eyes and a face that glows,
sweetest breath this wide world knows.
One star twinkling, shining bright.
All is well in Bethlehem tonight.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Little tiny sleepy head,
resting in His manger bed.
Then little baby reaches high,
meets a tear from Momma's eye.
Daddy squeezes Momma's hand,
all is well in this holy land.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Wise men kneeling in the hay,
bearing gifts from far away.
And shepards with their little lambs,
come to touch the babies hands.
Cooing doves in the rafters high,
sleep in heavenly peace tonight.
Sleep in heavenly Peace.

Original Composition: As The Waters Cover The Sea

This is a song that I wrote with the words from Isaiah 11:6-9 and 2nd Nephi 30:12-15. Those verses have always intrigued me because of the imagery and also because the words of these scriptures sound like poetry. The vocalist is my daughter Sierra who recently returned home from the Norway Oslo Mission.




And then shall the wolf, dwell with the lamb;
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
and the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling,
together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed;
their young ones shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the suckling child will play on the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain;
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.

2nd Nephi 30:12-15
