Children in My Lap

Holy, holy, holy,
My children in my lap:
I sing slowly.

Quietly we nap,
And I wrap my arms around them,
My children in my lap.

“Sing the song again,”
My little boy asks.
And I wrap my arms around them.

I’ve abandoned all my tasks
To sing:
My little boy asks.

I am here before the King,
And the children He has lent me now,
To sing.

With my life, my lap, my song, I bow:
Holy, holy, holy!
And to the children He has lent me now,

I sing slowly.
