Irene: Marvin Remix - TobyMac

Hush little Baby don’t you cry,

Daddy’s gonna sing you a lulaby

Everything’s gonna be allright,

the Lord’s gonna answere your prays tonight (x2)

Last night you had a dream

You was the Homecomming queen

Today your 18

Happy birthday Irene

quite school, you had to drop out to raise your little child

(don’t you cry, it will be allright)

You got to reach up to touch rock bottom

the powers that keep you downtrodden

daughter of Zion, I heard you prayers

just cast your cares, and please beware of snakes

they come in all shapes in sizes

tempt you, put scales on your eyelids

don’t waste your sorrows

they give you strenghth tomarrow

your callvery’s about to come

so keep your head up don’t you ever let up the storm will pass

you’ll be ready for the next one

Verse

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 ill be there, so don’t you fear (x2)

Chorus (x2)

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

Verse (x2)

Chorus (x6)
