Analysis of Heart of a Child
In the heart of every child
There is a special room where faith is stored
And there it will be locked away for a while
Until the hour comes to unlock the door
And when we see this tender heart so fragile
As she holds on to her parents so near
Let us consider the heart of a child
For it should always be handled with prayer
And as she experiences life's everyday trials
As she waits on Jesus who she loves so dear
It is always within the heart of a child
That faith will conquer her every day fears
