Hush little baby baby dont you cry
Daddys gonna sing you a lullaby
Everythings gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush little baby dont you cry
Daddys gonna sing you a lullaby
Everythings gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayer
Last night I had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today youre 18, happy birthday Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
Doesnt seem to be anyone around
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer
Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
They come in all shapes and sizes
Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids
Dont waste your sorrows
Theyll give you strength ... tomorrow
Your Calvarys about to come so
Keep your head up, dont you ever let up
This storm will pass you be ready for the next one
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
Dont say that its over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And Ill be there so dont you fear
Irene I carried you when you was too weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, thats what Ill always be to you
Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move
You have dreams and aspirations
I knew you before creation
Your foundations solid
I will give you a palace, restore your soul
Youll be up for any challenge
Many storms are on the way better sharpen your faith
Count the cost, take up your cross
And wear it every day
Rest in Me and I will give you strength
Blessed is she, Irene who seeks my face
Father Im stronger than when I first believed
