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 in 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 remain 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
Father hear my ceaseless prayer
Oh keep her in your care
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 in 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 remain 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
Father hear my ceaseless prayer
Oh keep her in your care
