Matt Loves Irene lyrics

CHORUS:

Hush little baby don`t you cry

Daddy`s gonna sing you a lullaby

Everything`s gonna be alright

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 alright

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

Doesn`t 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 you 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...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 (2x)



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 give you a palace, restore your soul

You`ll 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 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 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 (2x)



Everything`s gonna be alright (3x)

Be alright (2x)



(Yeah)Father I`m stronger I say

Father I`m stronger I say

Father I`m stronger

than when I first believed yeah (2x)



I say hey little girl with the pressures of the world on her shoulders

Don`t say that it`s over (2x)



I heard your prayers, just cast your cares

And I`ll be there, so don`t you fear



CHORUS (2x)



The Lord`s gonna answer your prayer tonight

The Lord`s gonna answer your prayer tonight

The Lord`s gonna answer your prayer........
