A child's prayer

​It wasn't so very long ago
I didn't know how to pray
I'd bow my head, while on my knees
But didn't know what to say

​ I guess I didn't have a clue
Of what God wanted to hear
It's tough to go before the Lord
When you're approaching Him with fear
 
 We must become as little children
And speak from within our heart
At least that is what I've found
Is the way that we must start
 
 Then the words will flow from us
Without a thought or care
We'll know we're in God's presence
And He'll always be right there
 
 Now, I think I understand
Just what Jesus meant
To become as little children
When we all repent
 
 So, if you feel your prayers are naught
And you don't know what to do
Ask your inner child to pray
Then God will draw near to you.
