| [00:16.92] |
Before I lay me down to rest |
| [00:23.60] |
I ask the Lord one small request |
| [00:29.83] |
I know I have all I could need |
| [00:35.70] |
But this prayer is not for me |
| [00:42.64] |
Too many people on this day |
| [00:48.31] |
Don't have a peaceful place to stay |
| [00:54.54] |
Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace |
| [01:00.38] |
Wipe their tears of sorrow away |
| [01:09.50] |
To believe in a day |
| [01:15.87] |
When hunger and war will pass away |
| [01:21.73] |
To have the hope amidst despair |
| [01:28.77] |
That every sparrow's counted |
| [01:31.81] |
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer |
| [01:42.36] |
Let me try always to believe |
| [01:48.33] |
That we can hear the hearts that grieve |
| [01:54.22] |
Please help us not ignore |
| [01:56.96] |
The anguished cries of the poor |
| [02:00.29] |
Or their pain will never leave |
| [02:05.22] |
(chorus ) |
| [02:06.15] |
To believe in a day |
| [02:13.21] |
When hunger and war will pass away |
| [02:18.39] |
To have the hope amidst despair |
| [02:25.43] |
That every sparrow's counted |
| [02:28.53] |
That you hear their cries and listen to each prayer |
| [02:33.64] |
(spoken prayer) |
| [02:36.68] |
Father, as you see, I'm just a child |
| [02:42.35] |
And there's so much to understand |
| [02:46.40] |
But if Your Grace should surround me |
| [02:49.84] |
Then I'll do the best I can |
| [02:52.99] |
I promise, I'll do the very best I can |
| [03:05.51] |
To believe in a day |
| [03:13.14] |
When hunger and war will pass away |
| [03:18.70] |
To have the hope amidst despair |
| [03:26.09] |
That every sparrow's counted |
| [03:29.44] |
That you hear each cry and listen to each |
| [03:33.58] |
Prayer {Hear each cry and listen to each prayer} |
| [03:39.22] |
Help us do Your will oh Father |
| [03:42.21] |
In the name of all that's true |
| [03:45.50] |
And we'll see in one another |
| [03:48.65] |
The loving image of You |
