The tenderness and sincerity in the sweet voices of children when they pray is such a moving sound. I recently heard one of our grandchildren praying for Annie regarding a health challenge and as they prayed I remembered going through a similar situation and hearing a “tiny” prayer that I’m sure had “big” results. It inspired the song that is re-posted here.
(Please listen to the end…I think you’ll be glad if you “wait for it!”)
When I Hear The Children Pray
I had a dream, it seemed so real
I was near the throne of God
All around the angels sang
Their hallelujah song
When all at once God stood and said
Let all be silent now
A little voice just called my name
I know that tender sound
When I hear the children pray
Oh how I feel every word they say
Let all of heaven know I won’t turn my ear away
When I hear the children pray
God closed His eyes and leaned toward earth
With his hand He cupped His ear
Then whispered she’s just four years old
And trusting that I’ll hear
She’s worried bout her Grandpa’s heart
Says he needs my healing touch
Let angels hurry to the side
Of this man she loves so much
When I hear the children pray
Oh how I feel every word they say
Let all of heaven know I won’t turn my ear away
When I hear my children pray
In my dream an angel took flight
And I felt a gentle wind
Then I woke up, I heard my grandchild say
“Thank You God, amen.”
