A Mother's Prayer

Before you close your eyes to sleep

I have a promise still to keep

As I hold you in my arms

I pray your little frame grows strong

And that faith takes hold while you are young

This is my prayer for you

Hold my hand

I’ll teach you the Way to go

Through the joys

through the tears

The journey of these years

May you trust Him‘til the end

May you trust Him in the end

This world is not as it should be

But the Savior opens eyes to see

All that’s beautiful and true

Oh may His light fill all you are

And the jewel of wisdom crown your heart

This is my prayer for you

Hold my hand

I’ll teach you the Way to go

Through the joys

through the tears

The journey of these years

He is with us‘til the end

He is faithful‘til the end

You’ll travel where my arms won’t reach

As the road will rise to lead your feet

On a journey of your own

May my mistakes not hinder you

But His grace remain and guide you through

This will be my prayer for you

Take His hand

And go where He calls you to

And whatever comes

seek Him

With all your heart

This will be my prayer for you

mmmm Father

hear my ceaseless prayer

Oh keep them in your care
