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



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.



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


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