0220B GROW TO KNOW (song of the week)

GROW TO KNOW

(This is a song I wrote years ago while praying for my children. It continues to say something from my heart, now also for my grandchildren.)

Well I'm on my knees again

Here to talk about my little friends

And the glow from this old nightlight lets me see how blessed I've been

They've got their mother's perfect eyes

And I can see they're angels barely in disguise

Sent from heaven to bless and change our earthly lives

And as I gaze upon their sleeping faces

Innocent like mine before the fall

I wish for them all

All the good life has to offer

For health and happiness

For fortune for success

But more than this I'll make a wish that's higher than them all

May they grow to know You Lord

May they hunger for Your Word

May they grow up like a child to trust in things they've yet to see

May they grow to know You're strong enough to keep them to the end

And may they grow You as their friend

Of all the jobs I've had in life responsibilities

Nothing's more important than this ministry to me

Please protect them from the evil one

Don't let them grow up too soon

And may they come to love You Lord even more than they could ever love me

May you grow to know the Lord

May you hunger for His Word

May you each become a beacon of the kingdom of His light

May you be strong enough to stand alone for truth unto the end

And may you grow to know

May you come to love the Lord

May you grow to know Him as your friend.
