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 Saviors love They said that Jesus was His name CHORUS: Is there a heaven for me? A place I wont 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 couldnt 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 Youll hear the children of the world Youll hear the children of the world CHORUS (repeat 2X) 1996 Shepherd Boy MusicASCAP (adm. by Word, Inc.) and Weedom
