A Child's Prayer
God, You're the Maker.
Jesus, You're His Son.
Together You both made us.
You made the Earth and everyone.
You made the stars above us.
You made the seagulls and the sea.
You made the flowers to cheer us
and the little bumble bee.
Be with us in our childhood
to protect us in the dark
and in our hearts plant love
that grows like a little spark.
Teach us in our teenage years
to be patient, kind and true.
Be with our parents dear
who first were made by You.
Help them to show us
in their love for each other
that someday when we're grown
we'll be loving to another.
And when we're old and gray
we'll have a peaceful mind
knowing that You were there to guard us
when we were young and blind.
Yes, we'll pray along life's way
knowing we'll receive an answer
somehow, somewhere, someday
because we'll talk to You each morning
and this is what we'll say:
"Dear Father in heaven,
please be with us today
and help us to please You
in everything we do and say."
Amen.
