Monday

Train up a child in the way he should go And when he is old He will not depart from it Proverbs 22:6 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord Psalm 1273 Mama, I've heard you sing in church Of God's amazing grace And I know you know the one you sing about And mama, I know you're awful busy When we're all at home But I never see you get your bible out I understand there's work to do And only so much time to get it done But could you take some time to teach me About Jesus before this day is gone? Before it's gone Could you read the bible with me? Help me learn to love God's word? And show me how to pray believing He hears every word? You don't have to preach a sermon Like the preacher does on Sunday To show me how a christian lives on Monday Daddy, you say that I should live a life to be proud of But you teach me so much more by what you do And daddy, I know you're busy working to give us a home And I'm thankful that we can depend on you (depend on you) But in all the work you're doing Do you ever take the time to steal away? (Steal away) And would there be some time for us to pray together Before we say goodnight at the ending of our day? Could you read the bible with me? Help me learn to love God's word? And show me how to pray believing He hears every word? You don't have to preach a sermon Like the preacher does on Sunday To show me how a christian lives on Monday They may never say these words out loud And really they shouldn't have to, oh no If our children are to know about the lord Then there's just one thing we can do One thing we can do Read the bible with them Help them learn to love God's word Show them how to pray believing he hears every word You don't have to preach a sermon Like the preacher does on Sunday To show them how a christian lives on Monday
