Lyrics
THIS CHILD?S PRAYER
As I lie here in my bed tonight
Not asking myself just why
This child?s prayer comes to my mind
And it brings a tear to my eye
A prayer from oh so long ago
That I repeated every night
It came from a faith deep inside of me
That just always felt so right
Now I lay me down to sleep
These were my last words every night
I pray The Lord my soul to keep
Until the morning light
If I should die before I wake
Cause I feared I might
I pray The Lord my soul to take
Cause it felt so right
Chorus
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray The Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray The Lord my soul to take
This was my prayer every night
As I prepared to go to bed
Looking back now on that innocence lost
I?ve grown from a boy to a man instead
All these years so much later now
As I lie here in my bed
This child?s prayer is all I hear
It keeps playing in my head
Repeat Chorus
As though The Father?s telling me
As I know He did back then
Trust in Me this night my child
Till we?re together once again
Now as I close my eyes tonight
As I lie here in my bed
This child?s prayer is all I hear
It keeps playing in my head
Repeat Chorus X3
