A Little Hope

At the beginning of a long journey

Stood a little boy with a little hope

Why was this happening to him

I wish I knew

Why did he have to be one of the few

He's gliding down the hall

In that little red wagon

Brightening the nurses day

They wish there was something they could say

To that little boy's father

Who smiles down at his son in pain

In the midst of a sunshiny day

That little boy kneels down to pray

Lord hear me cry

Please heal my father's heart

I will be just fine

Even though the cancer hurts mine

Thank you, lord for today

It is in your name I pray

Three years come and go

With tears and many fears

But he is still standing strong today 

With faith nothing can change

The little boy is still that hope

That heals his father's hurt

How their faith still stands is impossible to know

All of the pain that was caused

Left a scar on the heart

Every needle and every scan

Is all he has ever known

Why did God choose him

The world may never know

But In the midst of a sunshiny day

That little boy kneels down to pray

Lord hear me cry

Please heal my father's heart

I will be just fine

Even though the cancer hurts mine

Thank you, lord for today

It is in your name I pray

The Lord heard his many prayers 

And smiles down on his precious child

For the boy has touched the heart 

Of all of those who know

One day soon the boy will be free

And live the normal life that was once just a dream

At the beginning of a long journey

Stood a little boy with a little hope

And then the day came 

When he knelt down and prayed

Thank you lord for healing my hurt

Thank you for taking me this far

Today I walk away from the tears and the fears

With my father by my side 

Thank you for this day 

It is in your name I pray

At the end of a long journey

A little boy with a little hope

became one of the few to make it through
