For The Sake Of The Children

Verse 1:
There is a place I know
Where all the good children go
Where they won’t see one moment of sadness
Far away from grownup fears
That will bring on a child’s tears
They can sleep tight
Knowing all is right
And the morning will bring sunlight

Verse 2:
And I know they’ll reach that place
If by only God’s good grace
All the pain so mercifully forgotten
They’ll laugh and play with childlike ease
Amongst the flowers and the trees
They can run free and be at peace
To be all the things they were meant to be

CHORUS:
Say a prayer for the children
Keep them safe and keep them warm
For the sake of the children
Give them shelter from the storm
So many tears and heartache
For someone so small
Oh Lord, bless them all

Verse 3:
And now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And to hear the prayers of all the children
Bless them each and every one
Light the way, Thy will be done
Keep them safe from perils to come
Where there’s no hope let there be some
