Child of Mine lyrics
Oh little child of mine
May these words I sing to you from my soul
Be more precious to you than is gold
May there always be love between us
May you forever know good health, love and happiness
Oh little child of mine
May God keep you safe and warm
Oh little child of mine
And protect you from the storm
Howling around our door
Rattling our windows and floors
May you forever be bathed in light
When there’s darkness all around
May you always know what’s right
When the truth cannot be found
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
You are the little child of mine, yes you are
You are the little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
May you always say what’s true
Even when people don’t want you to
And always help those in need
And not give in to man’s greed, no
May you always be friendly and kind
And to your enemies show love
May you seek and may you find
Compassion raining down from above
Child of mine
Oh Child of mine
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
You are the little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
Paul Robert Thomas
