Jesus i heard you had a big house lyrics

Child's Request

One day while in the country church I saw a scene so grand

a scene that touched me oh so deep within

a little girl was kneeling there, her bible in her hand

her little hands were placed beneath her chin

dear God I humbly kneel in prayer, I'm just a child you know

I'd like to make this one request today

I'd like to see my daddy saved before this meeting's through

so please dear God help daddy find his way

before my mother passed away she took me by the hand

with tear filled eyes she held me in her arms

her trembling voice was almost gone and then I heard her say

dear God please keep my baby safe from harm

and then she prayed for daddy, that someday he would change

she said she hoped we'd meet again someday

I've brought him here today dear God and now it's up to you

I've never seen my daddy kneel and pray

he sat there on that back seat, his head was bowed in shame

his tear filled eyes just staring at the floor

and then there was a silence, all heads were bowed in prayer

and I felt the power of God come through that door

he raised his face toward heaven, and then there was a change

he left that seat and down the isle he ran

he knelt down by his daughter, and then he cried aloud

forgive me God I've been a wicked man

and then they prayed together, down on their knees that night

before they laid their bodies down to rest

they thanked the Lord for everything and then I heard her say

thank you God for granting my request

thank you God for granting my reques

Jesus, Jesus, I heard You had a big, big house
Where I could have a room all of my own
And, Jesus, I heard You have a big yard
Big enough to let a kid run and roam
I heard you have clothes in your closet
Just the right size that I wear
And, Jesus, I heard if I give you my heart
That You would let me
Why, why You'd even let me go there
(Would You let me go there)

Jesus, I heard about mealtime
When all of Your children come to еat
I, I even heard about a grеat big table
Where every kid can have a seat
And, Jesus, I heard there'd be plenty
Of good things for children to share
And, Jesus, I just want to tell You
I'm sure looking forward to going there

Jesus, I heard that in that great big house
There's plenty of love to go 'round
I heard there's always singing and laughter
To fill the place with happy sounds
And I've been thinking that a friend
Who had planned to give me all that he's got
Yet, before I even met Him
Well, He sure must love me, love me a lot
(He must love me a lot)

Jesus, I understand
You sure must love me a lot
Thank You, Jesus

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
