My Little Heart

My little heart is beating for Jesus tonight.

It is telling me that everything is allright.

It beats for Jesus every minute of the day.

And for that I bow my little head and pray.


Pray, pray, pray.

To Jesus everyday,

I pray and thank Him

For all I have today.


My little eyes are watching you, Daddy

As you fold your hands in prayer

And thank Jesus for our breakfast

But I do not see Him there.


You tell me He is with me

In this little heart of mine

Daddy, my dear Daddy

Let the love of Jesus shine


I hear your voice in the choir on Sunday

And see you bow your head in prayer

Daddy, oh my Daddy, teach me to pray

Like you do, so Jesus will know I am here


Daddy, please be careful for I am listening

Don't do things I shouldn't do to be like Christ the King

Read to me the bible and make sure I get it right

And keep on teaching me to pray, every single night.


Pray, pray, pray

To Jesus everyday,

I pray and thank Him

For all I have today.

Dear Daddy, What If...


What if I didn't have you, dear Daddy,

To walk just a little ahead;

To show me all the turns in the road,

So I am rightly led?


What if I never sang a song

That my Daddy had taught to me?

What if no one was there to teach

What I've learned about at your knee?


What if you never made me laugh

Or wrestled me in the floor?

What if I never watched the stars

With a Daddy I adore?


Take me along, dear Daddy.

For, I watch every step you take.

I try to follow your footsteps.

So, make them plain, for my sake.


When I see you on bended knee, dear Daddy,

When I hear you say my name in prayer...

I know what makes you so big and so strong.

And, I pray you will always be there.


No wonder my Mommy loves you.

You're the apple of her eye!

And, I see you looking at Mommy -,

Like you won the world's greatest prize!


I thank God every night for you, Daddy.

I'm the luckiest kid in the land.

For I know that you practice, in earnest,

The life of a Godly man.


When I say my prayers, dear Daddy,

I always ask Jesus to bless

My Daddy, my helper, my hero...

Who always knows what is best.


You remind me so much of Jesus!

How'd you get to be so much like Him?

I know, if I walk in your shadow,

The Way will never be dim.


I'd like to thank you, dear Daddy.

I'd like the whole world to know

You're the best Dad a kid can come home to.

Dear Daddy, I love you so.


One day I'll be grown, dear Daddy,

Might have a child like me;

And because of your ways, dear Daddy,

I'll be the best I can be.


So, teach me your ways, dear Daddy.

Teach me the Savior's love.

Let's walk hand in hand, dear Daddy,

Toward that wonderful land above.
