She heard him preaching in the church
She tried but she could not get in
She was a lonely child on the street
The wind was cold against her skin
The wind was cold against her skin
She heard the sound
Of strange new words
That someone else would then explain
They spoke of heaven
And a Savior's love
They said that Jesus was His name
CHORUS:
Is there a heaven for me?
A place I won't be hungry or cold?
That is a place that I would love to see
Is there a heaven for me
She waited patiently for hours
Until at last she saw him leave
He couldn't understand
The words she said
So he asked tell me what she needs
CHORUS (repeat)
And on that street they knelt and prayed
And on that night a child was saved
Listen closely and you'll hear
More than just a girl
You'll hear the children of the world
You'll hear the children of the world
CHORUS (repeat 2X)
