I'll Keep You In My Prayers
When
you were a baby;
I
held you all so close.
I
kissed your little cheeks;
I
kissed your little nose.
I
taught you how to sing.
I
held you on the swing.
I
taught you how to pray.
I
taught you many things.
When
you were a toddler;
As
cute as you could be.
I
taught you the bible;
You
sang Jesus loves me.
On
your first day of school;
I
hugged you, oh so tight.
A
tear ran down my cheek;
I
prayed you'd be alright.
When
it was time to sleep;
I would lay beside you.
I'd
talk about Jesus;
Until
our time was through.
When
you became a tween;
Sometimes
I felt afraid.
I'd
lay in bed at night;
I
prayed and prayed and prayed.
"Lord
please protect my child;
Help
her make the right choice."
The
Lord heard my prayers;
I
would sing and rejoice.
Then
there were your teen years;
You
made some choices then;
That
were not very wise;
But
soon you turned from them.
I
never ceased to pray;
That
the Lord would shield you.
I
prayed from day to day;
That
He would strengthen you.
You're
living for the Lord.
You
are heavens blessing;
I
pray you'll touch the World.
With
God's love and kindness;
With
gentle hands that give.
But
yet standing strong;
And
willing to forgive.
Thank-you
for the blessings;
Throughout
these many years.
You
are full of sunshine;
I'll
keep you in my prayers.
