MY PRAYER


Dear God I place my family
Totally in your care
I will not take them back again
But in faith I leave them there
You're all the hope they have
To bring them in today
For they don't love you Father
From you they've gone astray

I've learned from past experience
To leave all in your care
I've learned that I with confidence
Can always leave things there
You always work things out
As only you can do
You've proven so often in my life
That you're a God who's true

Whenever I have a problem
I go to you in prayer
I do not worry or doubt
But in faith I leave it there
The Bible says you work
All things out for my good
And so I leave my family today
With you my God, who's good

I know your Holy Spirit
Will speak to all their hearts
And I believe my Father
From their sin they will part
I believe they will accept you
And prove along with me
That you're the only one my God
Who can set their spirit's free

I believe with all my heart
They'll be brought into your fold
I know without a single doubt
And I can say quite bold
My family they will love you
They'll serve you just like me
For in you and only you my Lord
Can my family be totally free
