Please let me sleep Lord

My mortal body's just a worn out shack
and there is nothing here to hold me back.
I want to close my eyes, draw my last breath
and walk with Jesus through the Vale of death.

Please let me sleep Lord and I'll be at peace
for death to me will be a great release.
Take me Lord, I just want to close my eyes
and wake up there with You in Paradise.
