I Love My Child

When I would, I'd pray each day
for You to bless my child.
And keep her strong, keep her from harm
And help her find Your way.

Sometimes You'd answer me with tears upon my face.
Sometimes You'd answer me with a smile that erases all my fears.
But, sometimes You'd answer me with tears.

I love my child.
I love my child.
And in my child, just like me there's a choice to choose who will be.

So now I pray, I pray each day
for You to bless my child.
And keep her strong, keep her from harm,
And help her find Your way.

But now my prayer's aware of how our lives must be.
Deciding every moment to follow or to flee the path that's near
Or to find the path that leads away from here.

I love my child.
I love my child.
And in my child, just like me there's a choice to choose who will be.

(Jesus says)
I love your child.
I love your child.
And in your child, just like you
There's a choice to choose who she will be.
