Verse 1
Before you close your eyes to sleep
I have a promise still to keep
As I hold you in my arms
I pray your little frame grows strong
And that faith takes hold while you are young
This is my prayer for you
Chorus
Hold my hand
I’ll teach you the Way to go
Through the joys, through the tears
The journey of these years
May you trust Him ‘til the end
May you trust Him in the end
Verse 2
This world is not as it should be
But the Savior opens eyes to see
All that’s beautiful and true
Oh may His light fill all you are
And the jewel of wisdom crown your heart
This is my prayer for you
Chorus
Hold my hand
I’ll teach you the Way to go
Through the joys, through the tears
The journey of these years
He is with us ‘til the end
He is faithful ‘til the end
Transition
Dún do shúil
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí
A chuid den tsaol, ‘s a ghrá liom
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí
Agus gheobhair feirín amárach
Verse 3
You’ll travel where my arms won’t reach
As the road will rise to lead your feet
On a journey of your own
May my mistakes not hinder you
But His grace remain and guide you through
This is my prayer for you
Chorus
Take His hand
And go where He calls you to
And whatever comes, seek Him
With all your heart
This will be my prayer for you
Mmmm Father, hear my ceaseless prayer
Oh keep them in your care
