Текст песни A Child's Prayer - Janice Kapp Perry

Night time, quiet time
Loved ones gather at day's end
I hold them close, I hope they know
That God will always be their friend
And just before I say goodbye
My little one is by my chair
I close my eyes, I dim the light
And listen to this simple prayer

Heavenly Father, are you really there?
And do you hear and answer every 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

Pray, he is there
Speak, he is listening
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 Heaven

Heavenly Father, are you really there? (Pray, he is there)
And do you hear and answer every child's prayer? (Speak, he is listening)
Some say that Heaven is far away (You are his child)
But I feel it close around me as I pray (His love now surrounds you)

Heavenly Father, I remember now (He hears your prayer)
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago (He loves the children)
"Suffer the children to come to me" (Of such is the kingdom)
Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee (The kingdom of Heaven)

Heavenly Father, are you really there?
He hears and answers every childs' prayer (Please, hear my prayer)
