Ray Boltz's song 'Is There a Heaven for Me?' tells the story of a lonely, homeless child who hears about Jesus and heaven at a church service. She waits to ask the preacher if heaven is a place where she won't be hungry or cold. Moved by her question, he prays with her on the street, and she is saved. The song highlights the universal longing for hope and salvation, especially among the world's children, and the simple faith that responds to the gospel message.

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?
