Another SWEET Sunday


This time last week we were just welcoming our little Ethan Samuel. We praise God for this new addition to our family. As our dear friend, Sue, said, he is the "fifth toe" that makes our "Foote" complete. *grin* I love that!

One of my very favorite songs -- sung as a lullabye by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli -- is "The Prayer."

Enjoy the words and video below:



I pray You’ll be our eyes,
And watch us where we go,
And help us to be wise in times when we don’t know.
Let this be our prayer when we lose our way:
Lead us to a place,
Guide us with Your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.

La luce che Tu dai (The light that You give us)
I pray we’ll find Your light
Nel cuore resterà (will stay in our hearts)
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che (reminding us that…)
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei (You are the everlasting star).

Nella mia preghiera (In my prayer).
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’è (there’s so much faith)
When shadows fill our day:
Lead us to a place,
Guide us with Your grace,
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza (We dream [ of ] a world without more violence)
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza (A world of justice and of hope).
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino (Everyone give your hand to your neighbor),
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità (Symbol of peace and brotherhood)
La forza che ci dai (The strength You give us)
We ask that life be kind È il desiderio che (is the wish that)
And watch us from above.
Ognuno trovi amore (everyone may find love)
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a sè (around and within himself)
Another soul to love.

Let this be our prayer (Let this be our prayer)
Just like every child (Just like every child)
Needs to find a place:
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
E la fede che (And the faith that)
Hai acceso in noi (You have lit inside us)
Sento che ci salverà (I believe will save us).

Hi Susie,

that's one awesome song as a lullaby. Have you ever heard the version sung by Josh Groban? I'd say it is even better.
How does Ethan respond to it?
