Story Behind the Song
A child asks God if He listens and really answers children's prayers in song. Mother, standing at the doorway to her daughter's room, sings in support of her daughter's prayer.
Lyrics
Heavenly Father, are you really there,
Do you hear and answer every child's prayer?
Some say that heaven is far away,
But I feel it close around me when I pray.
Heavenly Father, I remember now
Something that Jesus told His deciples 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 kingdon, the kingdom of heaven.
