A daddy's prayer/jesus loves me

God, it's safe to say it's been a tough year
The hardest one we've ever seen
The world has never cried so many tears
Or had so many broken dreams

We've got some bad things going on around us
We're killing each other senselessly
It seems we've learned to hate instead of love
I guess what I'm really trying to say

We need you
We need you
We need you
God, we need you

I know soon it's Your Son's birthday
And you must cry when it comes around
He gave His life for us and a better way
The day that cross hit the ground

So when we celebrate this Christmas
I hope you'll forgive us all somehow
And as our children open presents
I'll be praying for them now

They need you
They need you
They need you
God, they need you

We need you to get us through
I need you
God, I need you

Jesus love's me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
We are weak but He is strong
