Lord, Protect My Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Terry Scott Taylor] For his age, he is 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, protect my child [Verse 2: Michael Roe] As his youth now unfolds He is centuries old Seeing him at play makes me smile No matter what happens to me No matter what my destiny Lord, protect my child [Chorus] Protect my child Protect my child [Verse 3: Terry Scott Taylor] When the world is asleep You can look at him and weep Few things you find that are worthwhile Though I don't ask for much No material things to touch Lord, protect my child [Verse 4: Michael Roe] He's young and on fire Full of hope and desire In a world that's been raped--raped and defiled And if I fall along the way And can't see another day Lord, protect my child [Chorus] Protect my child Protect my child [Verse 5: Terry Scott Taylor] There'll be a time I hear tell When all will be well Knowing God and man have been reconciled But until men lose their chains And the righteousness reigns Lord, protect my child
