For Our Children

To teach our children how to pray we first need to teach them what to say When we brings our needs to God above we know He's listening with all His love No matter what problems we have today we can take them to God when we pray Everyday we face many fears and our faces flow with many tears Our tears may flow but still we know that through our prayers we can grow We must let them know that God takes care to listen to what they have to share We teach our children how to recite the same old prayer every night Prayer to God should not be the same to teach them that would be a shame Before our children go to bed at night before we turn out the light we should kiss them, hold them tight Now we have opened the door and they see Him as never before God suddenly is real now they understand why we kneel Now they can tell Him their feelings were hurt today they can tell Him how much fun they had at play With head bowed low they can begin to say Now I lay me down to sleep my secrets I will no longer keep Now I know how to pray now I know what to say Now I'll tell God about my day!
