Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Snow on the sidewalk Breath hanging sharp in the air Two little coats on the back of a chair And an empty stair Blue lights in the driveway Boot prints lost in the white She’s holding their pictures close to her chest Praying through the night [Chorus] “Lord Bring my babies home Don’t let them walk alone Hold their trembling hands Till they’re back where they belong I don’t care how far they’ve gone You see them You know Lord Bring my babies home” [Verse 2] Dogs on the hillside Names carried thin on the wind Flashlights sweep through the blackberry thorns Calling Calling again She’s down on the front lawn Knees in the frozen ground “Jesus You watched them take their first steps Guide their footsteps now” [Chorus] “Lord Bring my babies home Don’t let them walk alone Hold their trembling hands Till they’re back where they belong I don’t care how far they’ve gone You see them You know Lord Bring my babies home” [Bridge] Then a bright light breaks through the black Like morning tearing open the sky Shining over the old creek path Where the willow branches sigh She runs where the glow pours down Heart pounding hard like a drum (oh Lord) Two small voices “Mama We’re here” Wrapped in Your arms of love [Chorus] Lord You brought my babies home They didn’t walk alone You held their trembling hands Till they were back where they belong Doesn’t matter how far they’d gone You saw them You know Lord You brought my babies home [Outro] Snow on the sidewalk Warm little hands in hers “I begged You in the dark tonight And You answered every word”
