A Sweet Prayer for Baby Dedication

(If your little one could speak to you, dear mother,
these words may very well be what you'd hear from
those sweet tiny lips. ~ Lois)

Won't you whisper a prayer for me

Wherever, whenever my bright smile you see?

For whenever you pray for me,

It matters for eternity.

Please pray I'll grow up to be healthy and strong,

And pray for my parents, who fervently long

To train me in paths that are righteous and holy,

And to see me know God and worship Him only.

Pray, too, for loved ones giv'n from above,

That they'll be faithful to show me His love.

And pray that I'll see very early my sin

And my need for a Savior, inviting Him in.

Oh, how I thank you for praying for me,

Wherever, whenever my sweet face you see.

For whenever you pray for me,

It matters for my eternity.
