Lord, give me patience
For this little child
Love that knows no boundaries
A gentle heart and words so kind
My heart bursts just to hold you
For you I pray
So high, run strong
Love with an open heart
And sing up your song
Dream big away from hurt and harm
O Lord, love and bless this child
Sleeping in my arms
Dreaming of memories
How we'll spend our years
I hope I'll always be here
To pick you up and dry your tears
My heart bursts just to know you
For you I pray
So high, run strong
Love with an open heart
And sing up your song
Dream big away from hurt and harm
O Lord, love and bless this child
Sleeping in my arms
Love with an open heart
And sing up your song
Run strong, so high
O Lord, love and bless this child
Sleeping in my arms
