Conway Twitty - When I Hear My Children Pray lyrics

rate me

Someday I'll be strong enough<br />

To make that church bells ring<br />

And when my voice grows steady<br />

I can help the choir sing.<br />

<br />

Somehow I can be usefull<br />

So put me to the test<br />

I know I can't do very much<br />

But Lord I'll do my best.<br />

<br />

Last night just at bed time<br />

I looked in upon my son<br />

And the picture I saw as I stood there<br />

Was surely a blessed one.<br />

<br />

Proudly I watched and listened<br />

To all he tried to say<br />

'Cause it makes my heart just burst with pride<br />

When I hear my children pray.<br />

<br />

And he said dear Lord I'm just a little boy<br />

And I don't know how to pray<br />

But so many of your people<br />

Has slowly turned away.<br />

<br />

Well, maybe there's something I can do<br />

To help in your great plan<br />

I know I can't do very much<br />

But I'll do the best I can.<br />

<br />

Couldn't I light the little candles<br />

Or maybe sweep the pews<br />

I'll do anything dear Lord<br />

Just as long as it's for you.<br />

<br />

Why, can I open up the doors<br />

Or dust your sacred stand<br />

I know I can do something<br />

If you'll just hold my hand.<br />

<br />

Yes, proudly I stood and listened<br />

To all he tried to say<br />

And it makes my heart just burst with pride<br />

When I hear my children pray.<br />

<br />

I know I can't do very much<br />

But Lord I'll do my best...
