Irene Lyrics - Toby Mac

Hush little baby, don't you cry 

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby 

Everything's gonna be alright 

The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight 

Hush little baby, don't you cry 

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby 

Everything's gonna be alright 

The Lord's gonna answer your prayer 

Last night I had a dream you was the homecoming queen 

Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene 

Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child 

Doesn't seem to be anyone around 

You've got to reach up to touch rock bottom 

The powers that be keep you downtrodden 

Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer 

Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes 

They come in all shapes and sizes 

Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids 

Don't waste your sorrows 

They'll give you strength tomorrow... tomorrow 

Your Calvary's about to come so 

Keep your head up, don't you ever let up 

This storm will pass you'll be ready for the next one

Irene, I carried you when you was to weak to walk 

I took to you when you gave your heart to God 

Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you 

Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move 

You have dreams and aspirations 

I knew you before Creation 

Your foundation's solid 

I will give you a palace, restore your soul 

You'll be up for any challenge 

Many storms are on the way; better sharpen your faith 

Count the cost, take up your Cross 

And wear it everyday 

Rest in me and I will give you strength 

Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks my face 

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on you shoulders 

Don't say that it's over
