Little Ones Pray With Me Tonight - Irmgard `Aluli

Little ones pray with me tonight
Little ones while I hold you tight
Make a chapel with your little hands
Bow your heads and pray to heaven above

Lift your eyes and repeat with me
"Dear Lord oh how I love you so
Teach me everyday to stay close to you
Teach me everyday to stay close to you
