I Pray For My Kids
by Steve & Annie Chapman

Album: Finish Well

I never knew I could pray that hard
Till the first time I heard that little cry
So helpless in my arms I thought of this old world
And that's when I realized
There'd be swing sets
Swingin' bats
Car keys
Drivin' too fast
Little things
And even bigger things to pray about

They need hope
They need peace
They need God's amazing grace
They need love
That will not fail
Heaven's light shining on their face
They need everything I could never give
That's why I pray for my kids

I never dreamed I could pray so long
Till the night when the fever wouldn't break
It was 2 a.m.
I fought back the worried tears
Didn't know what else to do
But go to Him
Yea... I work hard, do my best
Give them everything
I never rest
Still there's some things
That I know I can't give

Chorus

With everything that life can bring
Sometimes I wonder how
I'll ever find a quiet moment
But I can bow my head right now
