The Blanket Makers's Prayer
by Betty Baker Bailey Oh, Lord, I've thread and needle - A design within my heart; But for this to be a victory You, Your blessings must impart. I'll work the long, hard hours Making every stitch just so If You will grant my desire, A live baby it will know. Yellow, pink and baby blue Are the colors in my hand. As I make this special blanket, I take a solemn stand. I'll work to save the children Spreading Your truth as I go; Though they are to us invisible Each one of them You know. So, make this blanket special To catch a mother's eye So that she'll love her baby. So that it will not die. It's with great expectation In Your fields this seed I plant Knowing that by faith You, my prayer of life will grant. |
