Hannah prayed
For the child she had longed for
Crying out to God for a son
She promised she'd give
The child she would rear
For God's perfect will to be done

For this child, I have prayed
And the Lord, He has heard
And has given me all that I asked
He sent life from above
Wrapped in blankets, tied with love
I knew joy when I held you that day

Like Hannah
I prayed to God for children
Wishing I could sing sweet lullabies
I longed to hold a child
Rocking in my arms each night
I see an answer to prayer
Whеn I look into your eyes

For this child, I have prayеd
And the Lord, He has heard
And has given me all that I asked
He sent life from above
Wrapped in blankets, tied with love
I knew joy when I held you that day
It may appear old-fashioned
And some may not agree
But I know I was born to give unselfishly

For this child, I have prayed
And the Lord, He has heard
And has given me all that I asked
He sent life from above
Wrapped in blankets, tied with love
I knew joy when I held you that day
