Lord Give Me Grace

Lord give me the strength to endure this child

for surely, at times, he drives me wild.

It's mama this and mama that,

he seems to be a total brat.

 

He has so many little wiles,

but then he looks at me and smiles.

He is my hearts true delight,

when he looks at me with those eyes so bright.

 

Then I'll recall, for a child I prayed,

and his little life, to me, you gave.

Lord give me grace to guide his ways,

so he'll be worthy of thy praise.
