Child's Request
One day while in the country church I saw a scene so grand
a scene that touched me oh so deep within
a little girl was kneeling there, her bible in her hand
her little hands were placed beneath her chin
dear God I humbly kneel in prayer, I'm just a child you know
I'd like to make this one request today
I'd like to see my daddy saved before this meeting's through
so please dear God help daddy find his way
before my mother passed away she took me by the hand
with tear filled eyes she held me in her arms
her trembling voice was almost gone and then I heard her say
dear God please keep my baby safe from harm
and then she prayed for daddy, that someday he would change
she said she hoped we'd meet again someday
I've brought him here today dear God and now it's up to you
I've never seen my daddy kneel and pray
he sat there on that back seat, his head was bowed in shame
his tear filled eyes just staring at the floor
and then there was a silence, all heads were bowed in prayer
and I felt the power of God come through that door
he raised his face toward heaven, and then there was a change
he left that seat and down the isle he ran
he knelt down by his daughter, and then he cried aloud
forgive me God I've been a wicked man
and then they prayed together, down on their knees that night
before they laid their bodies down to rest
they thanked the Lord for everything and then I heard her say
thank you God for granting my request
thank you God for granting my reques
