Hush little baby baby don't you cry
|
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
|
Everything's gonna be alright
|
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
|
Hush little baby don't you cry
|
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
|
Everything's gonna be alright
|
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer
|
|
Last night I had a dream you was the homecoming queen
|
Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene
|
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
|
Doesn't seem to be anyone around
|
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
|
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
|
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer
|
Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
|
They come in all shapes and sizes
|
Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids
|
Don't waste your sorrows
|
They'll give you strength... tomorrow
|
Your Calvary's about to come so
|
Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
|
This storm will pass you be ready for the next one
|
|
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
|
Don't say that it's over
|
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
|
And I'll be there so don't you fear
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Irene I carried you when you was too weak to walk
|
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
|
Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you
|
Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move
|
You have dreams and aspirations
|
I knew you before creation
|
Your foundation's solid
|
I will give you a palace, restore your soul
|
You'll be up for any challenge
|
Many storms are on the way better sharpen your faith
|
Count the cost, take up your cross
|
And wear it every day
|
Rest in Me and I will give you strength
|
Blessed is she, Irene who seeks my face
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Father I'm stronger than when I first believed
|
