Loretta Lynn

When I Hear My Children Pray Ernest Ray

(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...)

Mirror lyrics:

(But Lord I'll do my best...)
(I know I can't do very much)

When I hear my children pray.
And it makes my heart just burst with pride
To all he tried to say
Yes, proudly I stood and listened

If you'll just hold my hand.
I know I can do something
Or dust your sacred stand
Why, can I open up the doors

Just as long as it's for you.
I'll do anything dear Lord
Or maybe sweep the pews
Couldn't I light the little candles

But I'll do the best I can.
I know I can't do very much
To help in your great plan
Well, maybe there's something I can do

Has slowly turned away.
But so many of your people
And I don't know how to pray
And he said dear Lord I'm just a little boy

When I hear my children pray.
'Cause it makes my heart just burst with pride
To all he tried to say
Proudly I watched and listened

Was surely a blessed one.
And the picture I saw as I stood there
I looked in upon my son
Last night just at bed time

(But Lord I'll do my best.)
(I know I can't do very much)
(So put me to the test)
(Somehow I can be usefull)

(I can help the choir sing.)
(And when my voice grows steady)
(To make that church bells ring)
(Someday I'll be strong enough)

(L. Waldrop)
