A Child's Prayer

Hear me, blessed Jesus, as I say my prayers today

And tell me You are close to me and You'll never go away.

Tell me that You love me like the Bible says You do,

And tell me also, Jesus, I can always come to You

And You will understand me when other people don't,

And though some may forget me, just tell me that You won't.

Jesus, stay real close to me at home and school and play,

For I will feel much braver if You're never far away.

And sometimes when I'm naughty, I hope You won't be sad,

For really I don't mean to don't mean to do anything that's bad.

Most of all, dear Jesus, I want to tell you that I know

Our Father sent you to us to live on earth below

So little children like myself would know You too were small

And that You are our dearest Friend and that You understand us all.

And some day when I'm older I will show you it is true

That even as a little child, my heart belongs to you.
