Every Child (Deserves a Home)

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
