Spirit of the lord
She held his tiny arms crossed
The lord bless you and keep you
May his light shine upon you
Then the bread was lost
As if God had given it to her
It found her outstretch hands
Amen
She held her hands that day
As her tiny feet walked away
They kneeled to God and she bowed her head
Pray for daddy she asked him to say
No he said and his thoughts ran away
Just say God bless daddy instead
God bless daddy were the three words that he spoke
Faster than she expected
She thought... oh...
and raised her brow
His interest you see was just a question of how
