A Mother's Prayer -


Verse:
My sweet baby on loan from above 
no better treasure could I more love 
I stand here beside your bed as I pray 
I lay my hand on your head and I say:


Chorus:
May you grow up to serve Him 
all of your days 
May He lead you and guide you 
in all of your ways 
May His hand bless your future with 
friendships that last 
May you cherish your youth 
and not grow up too fast


Verse:
I stare in wonder at your tiny frame 
Just to think that God knows you by name 
He knows every hair on your beautiful head 
He knows all your thoughts before they are said


Chorus:
May you grow up to serve Him 
all of your days 
May He lead you and guide you 
in all of your ways 
May His hand bless your future with 
friendships that last 
May you cherish your youth 
and not grow up too fast


Prayer:
May God grant you peace 
in the midst of a storm 
May God give you strength even 
when youre forlorn 
May you answer the door when 
Jesus comes knocking 
May wisdom guide you when 
your mouth is talkin 
May discretion protect you 
and keep you pure 
May you never stumble 
or fall for a lure 
May your heart remain humble 
to the very end 
May uprightness and truth 
be what you defend 
May the world not ensnare 
or change who you are 
May the light that's within you 
shine like the stars 
May angels surround you 
body, spirit, mind 
May favor and peace be yours to find 
May rejection and pain 
never reach you 
May your spirit grow bold 
for what youre called to 
As you rest in Gods care I will rest too 
Knowing that Jesus is watching over you 

Amen


Hannah speaks: I love you, Mommy
