A Child's Prayer

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 Somethin' that Jesus told disciples long ago "Suffer the children to come to me" Father, in prayer I'm comin' now to thee Pray, he is there Speak, he is list'nin' 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 Heavenly Father, are you really there? (Pray, he is there) And do you hear and answer ev'ry child's prayer?
