When I Hear My Children Pray
(feat. Ernest Ray)
Someday I'll be strong enough to make that church bell 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 bed time 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 plan
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 as long as it's for you.
Why can't I open up the doors or dust your sacred stand?
I know I can 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.
