The loving image of You

These are the words from the song Jackie Evancho sang at the Ringling pavilion in Sarasota Florida.
The song was written by her uncle Matt.

  

Before I lay me down to rest I ask the Lord one small request 
I know I have all I could need But this prayer is not for me 
Too many people on this day Don't have a peaceful place to stay 
Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace 
Wipe their tears of sorrow away


To believe in a day when hunger and war will pass away 
To have the hope amidst despair 
That every sparrow's counted 
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer


Let me try always to believe That we can hear the hearts that grieve 
Please help us not ignore The anguished cries of the poor 
Or their pain will never leave
To believe in a day when hunger and war will pass away 
To have the hope amidst despair 
That every sparrow's counted 
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer


Father, as you see, I'm just a child And there's so much to understand But if Your Grace should surround me 
Then I'll do the best I can I promise, I'll do the very best I can 

To believe in a day when hunger and war will pass away 
To have the hope amidst despair 
That every sparrow's counted 
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer


Help us do Your will oh Father 
In the name of all that's true 
And we'll see in one another
The loving image of You
