A Mother's Prayer
I pray YOU'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with YOUR grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds YOUR light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where YOU are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with YOUR grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with YOUR grace
To a place where she'll be safe
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with YOUR grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds YOUR light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where YOU are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with YOUR grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with YOUR grace
To a place where she'll be safe
