A CHILD'S PRAYER

 

A little boy six years old,alone in his room one day.
 down on his knees he bowed his head,and to the Lord he prayed.
 dear father up in Heaven,please hear my little prayer.
 you've took my Dad to live with you,dear Lord take me up there.
 I miss my Daddy so many ways,the little boy cried.
 and what will me and Mommie do now that Dad has died.
 Mommie says i must be strong,and hold my head up high.
 but when she thinks i'm not around,I see my Mommie cry.
 our house is cold and dark each night as we sit here alone.
 and Mommie watches from the window,but Daddy don't come home.
 Dad loved his family Mommie said,with tears streaming down her face.

and how he hated to leave us alone in this old sinful place.

but i know he's gone to be with you.
 for he done his very best,to live each day like Jesus would,
 and i know he past all test.so when you hear my little prayer,
 help Mommie understand that soon we'll be with Dad again,
 in Heaven's glory land.until that day i'll praise your name,
 over and over again i'll witness and work for you.
 in Jesus name....AMEN
