5 -5  6 -6 6     6   8   8 -9  -8
Heavenly Father, are you really there?

4  -4  5  -6    6   6-7   -7 -8 -8  8    7
And do you hear and answer ev'ry child's prayer?

Some say that heaven is far away,

-6  -6-7    7  7    -8-8    7  7 -8-8
 But I feel it close around me as I pray.

5 -5  6 -6 6     6 8 8-9   -8
Heavenly Father, I remember now

-4  5    -5   -6 6   6   -7 -7 -8  -8    87
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago:

 5-5    6  -6  -6   -6 -7    5  7
"Suffer the children to come to me."

7-8     8  8      7   7-6    -7  7  7
Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee.
