Such a wonderful and meaningful song - A MOTHER'S PRAYER

" This song came straight from my heart one night as I prayed over my sleeping daughter. As I stared at her beautiful frame I was just moved to tears by what an amazing gift from God she really is. She was born with neurofibromatosis and is considered legally blind. Some would have advised while she was still in the womb that I should have had an abortion because she isn't "perfect". That would have been a tragedy. As this song has been passed around it has been used in many different ways- pro-life rallies, baby dedications, Mother's Day events, weddings, and as a simple lullaby sung over a sleeping baby. My hope is that this song would inspire all mothers to pray over their babies, no matter how old, and to see the value of human life. "

My sweet baby on loan from above
No better treasure could I more love
I stand here beside your bed as I pray
I lay my hand on your head and I say:


May you grow up to serve Him
All of your days
May He lead you and guide you in all of your ways
May His hand bless your future with friendships that last
May You cherish your youth and not grow up to fast

I stare in wonder at your tiny frame
Just to think God know you by name
He knows every hair on your beautiful head
He knows all your thoughts before they are said

May you grow up to serve Him
All of your days
May He lead you and guide youin all of your ways
May His hand bless your future with friendships that last
May You cherish your youth and not grow up to fast

May God grant you peace in the midst of the storm
May God give you strength even when youre forlorn
May you answer the door when Jesus comes knocking
May the wisdom guide you when your mouth is talking
May discretion protect you and keep you pure
May you never stumble or fall for a lure
May your heart remain humble to the very end
May the uprightness and truth be what you defend
May the world not ensnare or change who you are
May the light that’s within you shine like the stares
May angels surround your body, spirit, mind
May favor and peace be yours to find
May rejection and pain never reach you
May your spirit grow bold for what youre called
As you rest in God’s care, I will rest too
Knowing that Jesus is waching over you
