This's a really beautiful song. I love its lyrics, it truly reflects the heartbeat of any christian parent.

It'ld be really touching if my parents could sing this to me on my wedding day hee hee :)

"Parents' Prayer" -- Steven Curtis Chapman
I guess we have always known
That a day like this one would come
When our children would leave us
And begin to build a home of their own
Lord, all you have taught us
We have gladly passed on to them
But one thing we don't know
Is how to place them back in your arms
again


CHORUS:

Lord, help us let go of two
That they might become one
Just like the Father, Spirit, and Son
Two hearts invisibly bound in love
By a vow that will not be undone

Now in your tender care
Lord, be all that we cannot be
And help us to trust you
When we don't see you quickly meeting their
needs

For you have provided
Since the day you gave our children to us
But now, in your arms dear Jesus
The time has come for giving them up

The urge is
strong

To try holding on
To the image of two
The way that we knew them
But now in your eyes
The two will be as one

By a vow that will not be
undone

By a vow that will not be undone
