Oh, I was just a young one
When I heard my mother pray
I’d never fall away
And where we came from
We didn’t have much
But she knew the secret to having everything
And she prayed, take this child of mine
Keep him in Your hands
And now I’m 33
Looking at this path behind me
And all You’ve brought me through
And I’ve made my mistakes
I’ve caused my share of heartache
But I have seen a mother’s prayer come true
Oh, Lord my heart still belongs to You
Now I look on those young lives
Stare in those precious eyes
And I understand why my mother prayed for us
She never gave up
And I know her prayers for me
They taught me to believe
So I pray, take this child of mine
And let me live to hear them say
I’m 33
Looking at this path behind me
And all You’ve brought me through
And I’ve made my mistakes
I’ve caused my share of heartache
But I have seen a father’s prayer come true
Oh, Lord my heart still belongs to You
Oh, I’m 33 and God I see how much I need you now
And there’s a prayer that carries me through every day of doubt
Lord, I want to be the kind of man who passes down
A legacy of faith and love that’s never burning out
Oh, I’m 33 and I still feel those prayers around me
And all they’ve brought me through
