Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I know you're [C]listen[G] ing as I
lay me down to [C]sleep[G]
It's not for [Cm]me I ask,
[G]but my children's souls to [Bm]keep
It seems the [C]world is going [Em]crazy
And though I [C]need to do my [F]share
Could you please take
them [G]un der wing
[Cm]Watch over them espe[Em]cially
[F]Keeping them safe [C]from everything
This is [D]a mother's [G]pray[C]er[G]
I know you're [C]listening in the si
[G]lence of the [C]night[G]
The news is [Cm]blistering but I
[C]hold on to your [Bm]light
And though there's [C]darkness
all [Em]around us
By my [C]faith I know you're [F]there
Give me the strength to [G]lead the way
[Cm]Send me the words I [Em]need to say
[F]Use me to guide [C]them day to day
This is a mother's prayer
This is [D]a father's [G]prayer[D]
[Em]I know I can't do [B]this
by my [G]self[C#dim][A][D]
[C]I t[G]hank you for your hel[C]p[D][G]
I know you're [C]listening so
[G]I know I'm not [C]alone[G]
I feel you here [Cm]with me as we [C]all
face down the un[Bm]known
Could you re[C]turn us to your [Em]garden
Where no one's [C]hurt and no
one's [F]scared
Free us from pride and bit[G]terness
[Cm]Keep us so close we [Em]won't forget
[F]Teach us to love [C]as you love
This is [D]a mother's [Em]prayer
This is a father's prayer
[F]Teach us to love as [C]you love
This is [D]a mother's,
a father's [G]prayer

[Outro 1]
