Little child stands near (A) |
LyricsA LITTLE CHILD STANDS NEARVerse 1 One night he heard you singing Of love and hope and joy Drew near to see if you could want Another little boy Verse 2 To comfort you in times of fear And to soothe your pain But you cannot take his comfort For you never knew he came Verse 3 You never knew when angry When your voice was shrill to hear With your fury and frustration That a little child stood near(chorus) CHORUS Now every time you feel your pain Each time you shed a tear Don't miss what really matters For a little child stands near Verse 4 Make no mistake, you drove him out His love you did deny Too full of selfish pitying Yet still he is nearby Verse 5 Why don't you see the joy you miss He comes to show to you Through you he looks out on the world Should he be bitter too?(chorus) CHORUS Now every time you feel your pain Each time you shed a tear Don't miss what really matters For a little child stands near Verse 6 He needs to give his love to you As much as you to him So find yourself, and find your joy And welcome him back in CHORUS Now every time you feel your pain Each time you shed a tear Don't miss what really matters For a little child stands near |
| Short Song Description: Poem written by Patricia Mason found while reading Rosemary Altea's book "Proud Spirit"... seemed perfect for my album "Going Home". We should all live our lives as if in the presence of a 'small child' |
