THIS CHILD

THIS CHILD by Robert Moon

Oh Lord won’t you bless this child

I am lifting him up to you today

Look down upon him, see his face

Oh Lord bless this child

Oh Lord won't you bless this child

Cause him to grow up without any guile

And with your hand upon him

He will have reason to smile

And as a young man draw him nearer

As he learns of you things will be clearer

I fear that he is so much like me

When I want him to be like you

Lord won’t you bless this child

Transform his thinking, renew his mind

And one day help him find

Your perfect will for his life

Oh Lord won’t you lead this child

In the way that he should go

From the paths of righteousness

Never let him go astray

Keep his feet upon the narrow way

In the hour of temptation never let him go

For I fear he is so much like me

When I want him to be like you

Oh Lord won’t you use this child

Let him show your love to the world

Helping people who are in need

Oh Lord won’t you use this child

Oh Lord won’t you bless this child

So his life will not be in vain

Here he is I bring him to you

This is what I can do

Oh Lord, I will teach him your ways

I will be there for him all my days

I am glad that you are willing

To make him the man that he should be

Oh Lord, help me raise this child

Help me to understand all his ways

And when I’m in need of patience
Oh Lord, help me raise this child

For I fear he is so much like me

When I want him to be like you
