Dedicated to my parents

I made this slideshow for my dad, but the song is dedicated to both my parents. I heard it at a homeschool convention last spring, where it was performed by one of the students, Molly Wagner. She reminds me of my dear friend, Lorrie Smith, who is now singing in heaven, and I wish her every success.


There's nothing like your parents' love through your childhood years.
They're always there to pick you up and wipe away your tears.
And looking back I wish I could have made it easier for them, but most of all I'm thankful

That they prayed that the Lord would guide my footsteps.
They prayed that He'd help me to see.
They prayed that I'd travel down the right path.
They prayed for me.

When your life is like a battlefield, and you're struggling to get by,
When you can't be who you want to be no matter how hard you try,
They love you through your many faults, and then they love you more,
And it helps to know that

They pray that the Lord will guide my footsteps
They pray that He'll help me to see.
They pray that I'll travel down the right path.
They pray for me.

No, they're not perfect. Nobody is, but they didn't give up on me,
And when it's my turn to raise up my own children, I'll know just what to do
Because they showed me how.

I'll pray that the Lord will guide their footsteps
I'll pray that He'll help them to see.
I'll pray that they'll travel down the right path.
I'll pray as they prayed for me.
