Hear My Prayer

(for the Steven Curtis Chapman family - written when my son, Bridge, was a baby. I changed the "hims" to "hers", for their daughter, Maria Chapman, whom they unexpectedly lost this evening in a tragic accident.)

God, will you take my child?
Will you hold her to your breast?
Will you whisper blessings in her ear?
Can you hear my prayer?

God, will you heal my child?
Will you touch her fragile body?
Will you never let her walk alone?
Can you hear my prayer?

There's nothing I can do
I'm helpless and afraid
But I will give her life to you
And pray

God, will you hold my hand?
Will you walk me through this valley?
My great faith seems very small
Can you hear my prayer?
