When I Hear My Children Pray |
| (Someday I’ll be strong enough to make that church bells ring |
| And when my voice grows steady I can help the choir sing |
| Somehow I can be usefull so put me to the test |
| I know I can’t do very much but Lord I’ll do my best) |
| Last night just at bed time I looked in upon my son |
| And the picture I saw as I stood there was surely a blessed one |
| Proudly I watched and listened to all he tried to say |
| Cause it makes my heart just burst with pride when I hear my children pray |
| And he said dear Lord I’m just a little boy and I don’t know how to pray |
| But so many of your people has slowly turned away |
| Well maybe there’s something I can do to help in your great plan |
| I know I can’t do very much but I’ll do the best I can |
| Couldn’t I light the little candles or maybe sweep the pews |
| I’ll do anything dear Lord just as long as it’s for you |
| Why can I open up the doors or dust your sacred stand |
| I know I can do something if you’ll just hold my hand |
| Yes proudly I stood and listened to all he tried to say |
| And it makes my heart just burst with pride when I hear my children pray |
| (I know I can’t do very much but Lord I’ll do my best) |
