A Mother's Prayer

I feel your little hand so still 
and shallow breathing near my ear;
and pray the Lord will bless and keep
my precious child within His reach .

I pray as you are sleeping sound
the angels will surround you now;
and keep you safe all through the night;
and 'rouse you with the morning light.

I watch you flutter in your dreams;
and pray that you will grow to be
a man, a woman of great integrity
who makes your dreams reality.

But most importantly I pray,
as you wake with each new day,
you'll look to God in faithfulness
and trust Him with your every step.

I pray the Lord will guard your way,
and help me teach you how to pray;
to always seek God's holy face,
and lean on His unchanging grace.

I pray the Lord will help me show
my precious child the things I know;
about a love that never fails;
about a love that always bears;

About a love that only comes
from faith in God's own precious Son;
Who gave His Child  that mine might be. . .
free for all eternity.
