Is There A Heaven For Me
Song Meaning
A child listening from outside a crowded church gives “Is There a Heaven for Me?” its searching perspective. She hears Jesus named but remains physically separated from the gathering, carrying questions shaped by hunger, cold, and exclusion. Her repeated question is therefore more than curiosity about the afterlife: “Is there a heaven for me?” asks whether the gospel’s promise truly reaches someone whom others have overlooked.
The preacher’s response brings the message out of the building and onto the street, where prayer becomes personal care rather than a distant sermon. As the narrative widens to “the children of the world,” one girl’s question becomes a challenge to hear vulnerable voices and make Christ’s welcome visible. Matthew 19:14 directly answers that concern in Jesus’ command to let the children come to him. John 14:2 points to the prepared place she longs for, while Romans 10:13 affirms that everyone who calls on the Lord may be saved. The song joins hope of heaven to responsibility in the present: believers must not allow social barriers to hide the welcome they proclaim.
She heard him preaching in the church
She tried but she could not get in
She was a lonely child on the street
The wind was cold against her skin
The wind was cold against her skin
She heard the sound of strange new words
That someone else would then explain
They spoke of heaven and a Savior's love
They said that Jesus was His name
Is there a heaven for me?
A place I won't be hungry or cold?
That is a place that I would love to see
Is there a heaven for me?
She waited patiently for hours
Until at last she saw him leave
He couldn't understand the words she said
So he asked tell me what she needs
Is there a heaven for me?
A place I won't be hungry or cold?
That is a place that I would love to see
Is there a heaven for me?
And on that street they knelt and prayed
And on that night a child was saved
Listen closely and you'll hear, more than just a girl
You'll hear the children of the world
You'll hear the children of the world
Is there a heaven for me?
A place I won't be hungry or cold?
That is a place that I would love to see
Is there a heaven for me?
Is there a heaven for me?
A place I won't be hungry or cold?
That is a place that I would love to see
Is there a heaven for me?
