Artist Of The Week

Artist: Matthew West
Album: Something To Say
Song: Safe & Sound


I know I have had Matthew West on here as Artist of the Week and I try really hard to not have someone on here more than once. But, here is the exception. He wrote a song to his little girl, a lullaby, Safe & Sound. This song really touched me when I heard it the first time, it is something I want to memorize and sing to Asher as I put him to bed. The lyrics of the song really define how I want to raise up Asher, to come to realize what Christ did for him on the cross.

He definitely gets 5 out of 5 dundies on all aspects.

So sit back, click on Artist of the Week and watch the video on youtube.

Can’t believe you’re here now
Tiny dream come true
The answer to a prayer now
I’m so in love with you
Couldn’t wait to meet you
Hope you like your name
I get the funny feeling
Life will never be the same

Safe and sound
You’re here with me now
Like I hoped you’d be
Safe and sound
You’re here with me now
And that’s all I’ll ever need

The world’s a scary place here
But baby it’s alright
I’ll make sure the coast is clear
So you can just sleep tight
But if you’re afraid of monsters
Like everybody is
I’ll be right beside you
Closer than a kiss

Safe and sound
I’m here with you now
And you will always be
Safe and sound
I’m here with you now
And that’s all you’ll ever need

Someday I’m gonna teach you
The reason why we pray
So that heaven’s love may reach you
Every single day
So, baby close your eyes now
And say a prayer with me
Lord, I lay me down to sleep now
But I know I will be

Safe and sound
You’re here with us now
And we will always be
Safe and sound You’re here with us now
And that’s all we’ll ever, all we’ll ever need
You’re all we’ll ever need
