LYRICS
It’s scary how life changes fast
Just when she thought that things could last
The way that it was set at for a while
No one’s sleeping much tonight
They pray the doctors won’t be right
It should’ve been a normal night right now

God, save your child
God, save your child
You’re the one who made her strong
So if she’s held on for this long
Don’t you think that you could wait
Just a little while
God, save your child
God, save your child
And let me know somewhere
This is a midnight prayer
Not a lullaby

They’re standing by the hospital bed
So many things that they could have said
But the rainstorm outside seems to say it all
Singing old, familiar songs
God, if only she could sing along
Say you won’t listen when Jesus calls
And her parents knelt down and they said,

God, save our child
God, save our child
We weren’t supposed to live to see the day
There’s the brokenness on that sweet face
You just can’t take her away
God, save our child
God, save our child
And let us know somewhere
This is a midnight prayer
Not a lullaby

I know why you’d want her there with you
But she’s still got so much living to do
I never thought I’d ever see the day
When all those plans
You said you’d made for her
Just went up in flames

God, save your child
God, save your child
You’re the one who made her strong
So if she’s held on for this long
Don’t you think that you could wait
Just a little while
God, save your child
God, save your child
And let me know somewhere
This is a midnight prayer
Not a lullaby

Let me know somewhere
This is a midnight prayer
Not a lullaby
