Lord, for the gift of children,
We come to give you praise; We bring them here before You, As they begin their days. Each one is loved and precious,
Yet they are not our own; We give them back in faith,
Lord, And trust Your grace alone.
We promise to be
faithful, And teach them all Your ways. Help
us to live before them, Lives they can only praise. Tho'they will not remember, What we have done this day, Each
day we'll shape their future By all we do and say.
Now as we grow
together, Help us to honor You. As we affirm each other
Through all we say and do. Then when our children leave us,
We'll trust Your Word and pray That what You teach
they'll follow, And never turn away.
