A Girl’s Prayer

There are many maidens searching

For what can make them beautiful

They spend their days concerning

Whether not they’ve reached their goal.

Some choose the way of worldly fame

And popularity,

My prayer is that my heart would aim

To glorify my King.

Give me sparkling eyes, smiling lips, 

and a singing heart,

Give me sparkling eyes, smiling lips,

and a singing heart,

May Your joy dwell in me that all who see

Would be drawn to the warmth of Your love,

May my life point others to the Father above.

To be beautiful some would say

One must wear the fancy clothes,

Or set ones hair in fair array,

And adorn one’s self with gold,

Your Word says favor is deceitful

And outward beauty’s vain,

But a quiet spirit with meekness full

Bring honor to Your name.

Give me sparkling eyes, smiling lips, 

and a singing heart,

Give me sparkling eyes, smiling lips,

and a singing heart,

May Your joy dwell in me that all who see

Would be drawn to the warmth of Your love,

May my life point others to the Father above.
