Lord Protect My Child

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
For his age, he's wiseHe's got his mother's eyesThere's gladness in his heartHe's young and he's wildMy only prayer is, if I can't be there,Lord, protect my childAs his youth now unfoldsHe is centuries oldJust to see him at play makes me smileNo matter what happens to meNo matter what my destinyLord, protect my childWhile the world is asleepYou can look at it and weepFew things you find are worthwhileAnd though I don't ask for muchNo material things to touchLord, protect my childHe's young and on fireFull of hope and desireIn a world that's been raped, raped and defiledIf I fall along the wayAnd can't see another dayLord, protect my childThere'll be a time I hear tellWhen all will be wellWhen God and man will be reconciledBut until men lose their chainsAnd righteousness reignsLord, protect my child
