This is the song my children always requested as their bedtime song and as a primary music leader the children repeatedly asked to sing this. It’s speak truth and teaches us about our Heavenly Father. It was a special shoe shine moment. Turn up the volume and enjoy…

Heavenly Father, are you really there?
And do you hear and answer every child’s prayer?
Some say that Heaven is far away
But I feel it close around me as I pray

Heavenly Father, I remember now
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago
“Suffer the children to come to me”
Father, in prayer I’m coming now to thee

Pray, he is there
Speak, he is listening
You are his child
His love now surrounds you
He hears your prayer
He loves the children
Of such is the kingdom, the kingdom of Heaven

    That was charming! Just saying, there have been no shiny shoes in Ward Council since you left, Bishop Don.

    That has always been one of my favorite Primary songs. This was a beautiful rendition by a sweet missionary with Elder Shoeshine close by!
    Love you great missionaries!❤️
