Someday I'll be strong enough to make the
church bells ring and when my voice grows steady I can
help the choir sing somehow I can be useful so put me to
the test I know I can't do very much but, Lord, I'll do
my best
Last night, just at bedtime I looked in upon
my son and the picture I saw as I stood there was
surely a blessed one proudly I watched and listened to
all he tried to say cause it makes my heart just burst
with pride when I hear my children pray
And he said dear Lord. I'm just a little
boy and I don't know how to pray for so many of your
people have slowly turned away well, maybe there's
something I can do to help in your great plan
I know I can't do very much but I'll
do the best I can couldn't I light the little candles or
maybe sweep the pews I'll do anything dear Lord just so
long as it's for you why, I could open up the doors or
dust your sacred saints I know I could do something if
you'll just hold my hand
Yes, proudly, I stood and listened to all he
tried to say and it makes my heart just burst with
pride when I hear my children pray
I know I can't do very much but, Lord, I'll
do my best.
Performed by Loretta Lynn
It seems only a
short time ago
that Scotty was small like this little boy. He is almost 42 years old, and has two boys of his own. Quinton is now 17 years old. And Brock is going to be 7 year old in Nov.
I remember when Scotty would kneel by his bed
to say his night time prayers. And asking God to take good care of Mommy,Daddy, his Grandpa's ,his Grandma's ,every Aunt, Uncle ,Cousins, and
whatever doggie he owned at the time. And to please bring him a little Sister or Brother. And God did answer so many of Scotty's prayers.
He could pray the longest prayers for a child. I am so glad that I didn't rush him.
Time goes by so fast and our children
are gone. They are all grown up with children of their own. It is hard to not see our children and grandchildren much.
But more than anything I pray
that our Grandchildren will be on their knees and pray.
So Scotty can have the same memories that I have when
he hears his boys pray.
