A Mother And Father's Prayer Lyrics - Collin Raye

I know you're listening as I lay me down to sleep 

It's not for me I ask, but my children's souls to keep 

It seems the world is going crazy 

And though I need to do my share 

Could you please take them under wing 

Watch over them especially 

Keeping them safe from everything 

This is a mother's prayer 

I know you're listening in the silence of the night 

The news is blistering but I hold on to your light 

And though there's darkness all around us 

By my faith I know you're there 

Give me the strength to lead the way 

Send me the words I need to say 

Use me to guide them day to day 

This is a mother's prayer 

This is a father's prayer 

I know I can't do this by my self 

I thank you for your help 

I know you're listening so I know I'm not alone 

I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown 

Could you return us to your garden 

Where no one's hurt and no one's scared 

Free us from pride and bitterness 

Keep us so close we won't forget 

Teach us to love as you love 

This is a mother's prayer 

This is a father's prayer 

Teach us to love as you love 

This is a mother's, a father's prayer
