Vs1

I enter Sunday church with hurts and cares

I quietly take my seat in His house of prayer

I feel robbed, cheated of God’s peace

Maybe it would be better if I’d just leave

Vs2

Near the altar the children gather around

Their smiles and laughter sings a joyful sound

I watch as they join hands and bow their heads to pray

I wonder for me, could it ever be that way

Chorus

Watching the children pray

Speaking simple words of faith

Watching the children pray

Sharing God’s love and grace

Watching the children pray

Vs3

I couldn’t bear the pain, so I closed my eyes

But what happened next caught me by surprise

The children laid their little hands all over me

Whispering prayers, asking Jesus to meet my needs

Chorus
