Story behind the song

I had a dream when my wife was about 6 months along with my son. In my dream I was holding my son in the morning light and realizing how he will reap the consequences of every decision I make regardless of the quality of the decision. So all I could do was pray for guidance...

Lyrics

I Pray to God by Eddie Arnold

Verse 1 - 
As I hold you in my arms this just feels so right
A tear falls from my eye as I feel the morning light 
Another day of living and another day of joy
God has truly blessed us with a precious baby boy

As your mother lies there sleeping and I hold you oh' so tight
I think about the world where you will grow and live your life

Chorus -
I pray to God for this world, for all the little boys and girls
Who inherit this place we live and what we've done

I pray for God's help in all I do to keep this bond fresh and new
And to make this world a better place for you

Verse 2 -
You're so small and so defenseless yet your smile could melt a stone
I am proud to be your father and to claim you as my own

Believe me as you grow there's one thing that you should know
No matter where you go you wont be alone

As you face this life you'll live there'll be times that we're apart
But I pray that you remember you're always in my heart

Repeat Chorus (2x)-

Tag -
Oh' God help in all I do to keep this bond fresh and new
And to make this world a better place
