Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!
This is the first time that I've heard of this song, and instantly I felt a connection to it. It is a song that echoes the love and prayers I have from the deepest corners of my heart, straight to my DD. I know that perhaps many of you have heard or listened to this song, and I hope that as it continues to be passed around over the net, it would continue to inspire Mothers like me, to allow God to work His ways on our children, receive His tremendous blessings, and for us to nurture the children God blessed us with to grow up beautiful in His eyes.
Verse:
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:
Chorus:
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 too fast...
Verse:
I stare in wonder at your tiny frame
Just to think that God knows you by name
He knows every hair on your beautiful head
He knows all your thoughts before they are said:
Chorus:
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 too fast...
Prayer:
May God grant you peace
in the midst of a storm
May God give you strength even
when you're forlorn
May you answer the door when
Jesus comes knocking
May 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 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 stars
May angels surround you
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 to...
As you rest in God's care I will rest too
Knowing that Jesus is watching over you,
Amen.
Hannah speaks: I love you, Mommy
