A Mothers Prayer
My children are almost grown now Lord
The teen years belong to all three
We have so many plans for them
But the greatest to follow thee.
Oh Lord please surround each one of them
with your loving gracious arms
Protect them from this wicked world
Keep them from all harm
Love them though they don't see the value
Of daily living for thee
They know the truth and believe in you
But the devil is turning the key
Put walls around to keep them close
And never let them go
Walk with them through all their life
Oh I pray your love they know
Make me Lord know just what to say
So they will hear each word
That you're the only answer to life
Oh let their hearts be stirred
I 'm just a mom down here on earth
we taught them of your love
I hand them over to you my King
Send wisdom from above
At this age I feel so helpless Lord
The dangers around them flow
But Lord I know you care for them
Please beside them go
Forgive me where I have failed
To teach them more of you
Take over Lord where I am weak
Give them life brand new
Remember Lord the day they were born
I look to you above
I gave them to you when each arrived
They are yours with all my love!
In your precious name I pray amen............
