Prayers for Daughter-in-Law

V5.5

[Verse 1] Before you took your first breath, did you even know Before you took your first step, with a long way to go. Prior to your first tear, the times that you wept. Picked your first flower, did you even know the depth. [Chorus] Before you did all these things, for the very first time. There is something we want you to know, to ease your mind. We would kneel by our son’s side, this is what we would do. When we prayed for him, -----We also prayed for you [Verse 2] Before you rode your first bike or skinned your knee. Before you seen your first star, the times you climbed a tree. Prior to going to school, you threw your first ball, to the day you graduated, where you would stand tall. [Chorus] Before you did all these things, for the very first time. There is something we want you to know, to ease your mind. We would kneel by our son’s side, this is what we would do. When we prayed for him, ----We also prayed for you [Verse 3] Before our son first met, the love of his life. Before our son first said, “Will you be my wife. Prior to your first dance, the kiss that sealed the deal, before you gave us grandchildren, that made things so real. [Pre-Chorus] Before you seen a butterfly, learned to tie your shoe, even before then, that’s when we first loved you. [Final Chorus] Before you did all these things, for the very first time. There is something we want you to know, to ease your mind. We would kneel by our son’s side, this is what we would do. When we prayed for him, -----We also prayed for you [Outro] We would kneel by our son’s side and this is what we would do. When we prayed for him, -----We also prayed for you We still pray for you now, and we always will
