[00:16.92]Before I lay me down to rest
[00:23.60]I ask the Lord one small request
[00:29.83]I know I have all I could need
[00:35.70]But this prayer is not for me
[00:42.64]Too many people on this day
[00:48.31]Don't have a peaceful place to stay
[00:54.54]Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace
[01:00.38]Wipe their tears of sorrow away
[01:09.50]To believe in a day
[01:15.87]When hunger and war will pass away
[01:21.73]To have the hope amidst despair
[01:28.77]That every sparrow's counted
[01:31.81]That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer
[01:42.36]Let me try always to believe
[01:48.33]That we can hear the hearts that grieve
[01:54.22]Please help us not ignore
[01:56.96]The anguished cries of the poor
[02:00.29]Or their pain will never leave
[02:05.22](chorus )
[02:06.15]To believe in a day
[02:13.21]When hunger and war will pass away
[02:18.39]To have the hope amidst despair
[02:25.43]That every sparrow's counted
[02:28.53]That you hear their cries and listen to each prayer
[02:33.64](spoken prayer)
[02:36.68]Father, as you see, I'm just a child
[02:42.35]And there's so much to understand
[02:46.40]But if Your Grace should surround me
[02:49.84]Then I'll do the best I can
[02:52.99]I promise, I'll do the very best I can
[03:05.51]To believe in a day
[03:13.14]When hunger and war will pass away
[03:18.70]To have the hope amidst despair
[03:26.09]That every sparrow's counted
[03:29.44]That you hear each cry and listen to each
[03:33.58]Prayer {Hear each cry and listen to each prayer}
[03:39.22]Help us do Your will oh Father
[03:42.21]In the name of all that's true
[03:45.50]And we'll see in one another
[03:48.65]The loving image of You
