A precious little girl
Stood outside her parents' door
She could not understand
Why they fought so much and swore
She closed her eyes and prayed,
Oh she asked for something more
She asked the Lord,
What's life worth living for?
A single little tear fell from her eye
And then the Lord replied
This is why:
You're my little girl,
You're the apple of my eye
Oh come to me my child,
My arms are open wide
Chorus:
A child's cry,
A child's cry for her father
A child's cry, A child's cry
A tiny little boy
On the street all alone
He had no one to love,
No place he called his home
He fell to his knees,
Only one thing he asked for
He asked not for the world,
Just an open door
As he knelt in prayer
He looked up to see
A hand opened to him, the hand of a king
The Lord cried:
You're my little boy,
You're the child whom I adore
One day you'll be with me
With me forevermore
Chorus:
A child's cry,
A child's cry for his father
A child's cry, A child's cry
I am on my knees, tears roll down my face
I ask my Father for mercy and grace
I never thought someone could love me this much
But That all changed when I felt my Father's touch
