Prayer Song
Story behind the song
I felt the sadness of the Lord one night.
Lyrics
I wish dear Jesus you could smile
even for just a little while
For you are like a precious child
So loving, and so mild
I pray your children will make amends
For all their sins
And they will come to you
And never want to sin again
I wish dear Jesus you could smile
Even for just a little while
That all your sheep would practice meekness
Patience and holiness
They would listen more carefully
To what you say
They would trust in everything
You give to them
(music)
I will try to help them
Dear holy King, dear holy King
I will help your children
I will love them and be kind all the time
Dear holy King, dear holy King
I wish dear Jesus you could smile
Even for just a little while
I will be gentle and mild
I tell them not to be wild
So you can smile
Even for just a little while
So you can smile
Even for just (pause) a little while
