My little child
My little child
by Joel Howard
My little boy
My little boy
Not yet a year
Not yet a year
Its dark outside
Its dark right now
Won't you lay down
Your head and sleep?
My little boy
My little boy
Not yet a year
Not yet a year
The moon is out
The sun is down
Please lay your head
Down to rest
The moon tells me
Its okay
To go to sleep
"The sun wont last
A single round
In the ring with Me"

My little girl
My little girl
My voice you hear
My voice you hear
The moon is out
The sun is down
Please go to sleep
My little girl
My little girl
Your day is full
Your day is full
Empty it now
Empty it now
Here at my feet
The stars tell me
That its okay
To hide away
The battle fought
Though not yet won
Can wait another
Night, you see
Can you keep a secret?
Promise you will keep it
Close to your heart?
While the world is sleeping
Jesus Christ will keep it
close to His heart!
You don't want productivity
More than I do!
You don't want to see things happen
More than I do!
You don't want a different life for you
More than I do!
You don't want to see results
More than I do!
You don't want a redeemed world
More than I do!
You don't want the promised land
More than I do!
If I go to prepare
A place for you
If I go to prepare
A place...
Can you keep a secret?
Promise that you'll keep it
Close to your heart?
While your world is sleeping
Father hears you weeping
He hears your heart!
He hears your heart!
You don't want the battle won
More than I do!
You don't want the race to be run
More than I do!
You don't want your wars to stop
More than I do!
You don't want protection for you
More than I do!
You don't want me to draw near
More than I do!
You don't want to slay your fears
More than I do!
If I go to prepare
A place for you
If I go to prepare
A place...
My little child
My little child
Still so young
Still so young
Its cold outside
So come inside
And hear my heart!
