A Child’s Prayer

Lyrics

1. 1. Heavenly Father, are you really there?

   And do you hear and answer ev’ry child’s prayer?

   Some say that heaven is far away,

   But I feel it close around me as I pray.

   Heavenly Father, I remember now

   Something that Jesus told disciples long ago:

   “Suffer the children to come to me.”

   Father, in prayer I’m coming now to thee.

2. 2. Pray, he is there;

   Speak, he is list’ning.

   You are his child;

   His love now surrounds you.

   He hears your prayer;

   He loves the children.

   Of such is the kingdom, the kingdom of heav’n.
