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.
