When My Children Pray


Some day I'll be strong enough to make the church bells ring,
and when my voice grows steady I can help the choir sing.
Somehow I can be useful 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 bedtime, 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 have slowly turned away.
Well, maybe there's something I can do to help in your great plans.
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 so long as it's for you.
 For I can open the doors or dust your sacred stands.
I know I could 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
