Rachel Aldous - A Mother's Prayer (Hannah's Song) lyrics
rate me<b>A Mother's Prayer (Hannah's Song)</b> by <i>Rachel Aldous</i><br />
Verse:
My sweet baby on loan from above.
No better treasure could I more love.
I stand here beside your bed as I pray
Ilay 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 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 you’re forlorn.
May you answer the door when
Jesus comes knocking.
May wisdom guide when
Your mouth is talking.
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 you’re called to.
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.
Singing:
As you rest in God’s care I will rest, too.
Knowing that Jesus is watching over you.
Amen
Hannah speaks: I love you, Mommy…
