A PRAYER FOR OUR BABY

Dear God, you’ve blessed me with this child

A surprise and such a pleasure

But I must ask a special favor

For this babe, I’ll truly treasure

Don’t let my health slip away

Don’t let my body fail me

I carry the son of the man I love,

And I want to have his baby

Protect me from harm until he’s born

And then please watch over him

Give me the strength that I will need

And give me a chance to hold him

Give me a fighting chance for this child

And I promise your praises I’ll sing

Don’t let me lose this precious life

And I won’t ask for another thing

I’m doing my best to watch my health

But the doctors say I need more

For only your help will get me through
