A Parent's Prayer

Lord I want my kids to know

A straight and narrow road

But the world is waging war

Against their soul,

This I know

Lord I want my kids to win

Over the power of sin

But I can’t control their choices

That they make,

So this I pray

Hold their hearts when I’m not there

When trials come to test their faith

Let ‘em know the power of prayer

Hold their lives in your hands

When the world tries to push them down

Provide the grace to stand

Hold them close when I can’t

Lord I want my kids to be living life victoriously

Yet I know that there’s no win without a war.

Yes, there’s a war

Lord I am trying to let go

All of my earthly control

So that heaven has the strongest voice today,

So this I pray

Lord, you know I try the best I can

But there’s one thing that I understand

I am not the savior they need to know

And I am not so blind that I can’t see

That the greatest place for them to be

It’s not my arms but in your mighty hand

Mighty hand

Hold them close when I can’t

Oooh, hold them close
