When I Hear My Children Pray






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.
