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 'til 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 remains and guide you through This is 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.
