Lord Protect My Child

[ti:Lord Protect My Child] [ar:Susan Tedeschi] [al:Hope And Desire] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] For his age he's wise he's got his mother's eyes There's gladness in his heart He's young and he's wild My only prayer is if I can't be there Lord oh Lord protect my child As his youth now unfolds he is centuries old Just to see him at play oh it makes me smile No matter what happens to me No matter what my destiny Lord oh Lord protect my child While the whole world is asleep You can look at it and weep Few things you find are worthwhile And though I don't ask for much No material things to touch Lord oh Lord protect my child He's young and on fire full of hope and desire In a world that's been raped raped and defiled If I fall along the way and can't see another day Lord oh Lord protect my child Lord oh Lord protect my child There'll be a time I hear tell When all will be well When God and man will be reconciled But 'til men lose their chains And righteousness reigns Lord oh Lord protect my child Oh yes Lord protect my child Oh Lord protect my child
