Lyrics to A Young Boy Prayed

As a child I learned at my mother’s knee
What a prayer of faith to a child could be
As she told of a boy with a troubled mind
Whose prayer was answered for all mankind

Chorus:

A young boy prayed
And opened up the heavens with his faith
Because He prayed
He heard and saw the Father face to face
This simple truth helps me in all I do
Because I know that I can pray too
How I love to hear of the sacred place
Where he talked with Jesus and saw His face
When I’m all alone and I kneel in prayer
I close my eyes and pretend I’m there

Repeat chorus

As I go through life with its good and bad
I will try to think of the faith he had
I can pray to the Father to comfort me
As Joseph did in that grove of trees

Repeat chorus
