To be remembered on your birthday
Feel a father�??s kiss goodnight
To have a mother wrap her arms around you
And say it�??s gonna be alright
These are the things we take for granted
That every child should know and love
It�??s simply heaven�??s way of telling them
They are precious in this world
Precious in this world
Every child deserves a home
Every child deserves to hear the words, �??You are not alone.�?�
Every life on earth is sacred
Every heart is heaven�??s own
Every child deserves a home
Deserves a home
They are out there by the millions
Hurting children without hope
Little boys and girls who need a family
That they can call their own
Now it�??s up to us to help them
We can�??t just close our eyes
Jesus loves the little children
And His arms are open wide
They are open wide
Every child deserves a home
Every child deserves to hear the words, �??You are not alone.�?�
Every life on earth is sacred
Every heart is heaven�??s own
Every child deserves a home
There�??s something in their faces that tells us their story
There�??s something in their cry that keeps calling out, �??Don�??t forget about me.�?�
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus died for all the children of the world
Every child deserves a home
Every child deserves to hear the words, �??You are not alone.�?�
Every life on earth is sacred
