A Prayer For The Children

 

Oh Lord, I see the sorrow in Your eyes

When little ones entrusted to our care

Are suffering; You hear the mournful cries From tender broken hearts filled with despair;

Lord, help me be Your hands to those in need

A ray of hope in darkness, let me shine

And by Your grace, Lord, help me intercede

To share with them a Father's love divine;

Forgive me, Lord, for my complacency

For thinking that there's nothing I can do;

Make me a bridge to love and harmony

A bridge that leads them safely, Lord, to You.

These little ones are precious in Your sight;

May I be ever mindful of their plight.
