From the moment I saw you,
I started to pray.
Big prayers and small ones
I have sent God's way.

I prayed you felt safe,
full of joy and content.
When I whispered "I love you,"
you knew what I meant.
From the moment I saw you, I started to pray. 

Big prayers and small ones I have sent God's way.

I prayed as I held you when you sat in my lap. 

I prayed while we rocked, as you peacefully napped.

Excerpt

From the moment I saw you, I started to pray. 

Big prayers and small ones I have sent God's way.

I prayed as I held you when you sat in my lap. 

I prayed while we rocked, as you peacefully napped.
