A CHILD'S PRAYER

A CHILD'S PRAYER

 Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer

and take me in your arms

this pain is now more than I can bear..

Please show me the promise of your Psalms.

You promised you'd be my Shepherd

that you would lead me all the way

Please, Jesus, let me come home to rest..

let this sickness go away.

My Mummy and Daddy cry a lot

I hate to see them so very sad..

Please, Jesus, if I lived with you

Maybe they wouldn't feel so bad.

You said "Suffer little children

to come unto me.."

Jesus, please take me home again

and then I would be free.

I have no fear of Heaven..

I know it will be a warm and loving place

Let me farewell my loving family

and enter your sweet embrace.
