Artist/Band: Loretta Lynn
Lyrics for Song: When I Hear My Children Pray
Lyrics for Album: Best of the Best: Her Gospel Side [1999]



(L. Waldrop)



(Someday I'll be strong enough)

(To make that church bells ring)

(And when my voice grows steady)

(I can help the choir sing.)



(Somehow I can be usefull)

(So put me to the test)

(I know I can't do very much)

(But Lord I'll do my best.)



Last night just at bed time

I looked in upon my son

And the picture I saw as I stood there

Was surely a blessed one.



Proudly I watched and listened

To all he tried to say

'Cause it makes my heart just burst with pride

When I hear my children pray.



And he said dear Lord I'm just a little boy

And I don't know how to pray

But so many of your people

Has slowly turned away.



Well, maybe there's something I can do

To help in your great plan

I know I can't do very much

But I'll do the best I can.



Couldn't I light the little candles

Or maybe sweep the pews

I'll do anything dear Lord

Just as long as it's for you.



Why, can I open up the doors

Or dust your sacred stand

I know I can do something

If you'll just hold my hand.



Yes, proudly I stood and listened

To all he tried to say

And it makes my heart just burst with pride

When I hear my children pray.



(I know I can't do very much)

(But Lord I'll do my best...)
