Irene lyrics

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everythings gonna be alright
The Lord’s gonna answer your prayers tonight

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everythings gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayers

Last night you had dream you was the homecoming queen
Today your 18, Happy Birthday Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
(Doesn’t seem to be anyone around)
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayers
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 for tomorrow
Your Calvary’s about to come so
Keep your head up, Don’t you ever let up
This storm will pass you be ready for the next one

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don’t say that its over
I heard your prayers
Just cast your cares
And I’ll be there, so don’t you fear

I said Hey little girl with pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don’t say that its over
I heard your prayers
Just cast your cares
And I’ll be there, so don’t you fear

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everythings gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything’s gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Irene I carried you when you was too 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 foundations solid,I will build you a palace
Restore your soul
You’ll be up for any challenge
Many storms are on the way better sharpen you 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 your shoulders
Don’t say that its over
I heard your prayers
Just cast your cares
And I’ll be there, so don’t you fear

I said Hey little girl with pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don’t say that its over
I heard your prayers
Just cast your cares
And I’ll be there, so don’t you fear

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everythings gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything’s gonna be alright
The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Everythings gonna be alright
Everythings gonna be alright
Everythings gonna be alright be alright be alright
Father I’m stronger I said
Father I’m stronger I said
Father I’m stronger then when I first believed yea
Father I’m stronger I said
Father I’m stronger I said
Father I’m stronger then when I first believed yea

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don’t say that its over

I said Hey little girl with pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don’t say that its over
I heard your prayers
Just cast your cares
And I’ll be there, so don’t you fear<
