Hush Little Baby Irene lyrics

CHORUS:
Hush little baby don`t you cry
Daddy`s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything`s gonna be all right
The Lord`s gonna answer your prayer tonight

Hush little baby don`t you cry
Daddy`s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything`s gonna be all right
The Lords gonna answer your prayer

Last night you had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you`re 18, happy birthday Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
doesnt seem to be anyone around
You`ve 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 eye lids
Don`t waste your sorrows
They`ll give you strength tomorrow
Your Calvary`s about to come so
Keep your head up, don`t you ever let up
This storm will pass you`ll be ready for the next one

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on you shoulders
Don`t say that it`s over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I`ll be there so don`t you fear (2x)

CHORUS

Irene, I carried you when you was to weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, that`s what I`ll 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 foundation`s solid
I will build you a palace, restore your soul
You`ll be up for any challange
Many storms are on the way; better sharpen your faith
Count the cost, take up your Cross
And wear it everyday
Rest in me and I will give you strength
Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks my face

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don`t say that it`s over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I`ll be there so don`t you fear (2x)

CHORUS

Everything`s gonna be all right (3x)Be all right (2x)
the fathers gonna answer your prayers to night
