Pictures in slideshow videoed by Colin in the meadow where he prayed as a young boy
He bowed his head and said a prayer
Just a heartbroken little boy
He whispered; Jesus, are you listening there
Will you bring me love, peace and joy?
He knelt beside the altar stone
Set up by him in meadow grass
He poured his heart out there all alone
Jesus; when will my sorrows pass
For down my cheeks the tears they run
In my life I have no love
I heard I must come to you God's Son
For a happy home above
When will my pain and heartaches cease?
For happiness I often dream
And endlessly I search for peace
But my tears are flowing like this passing stream
And the boy knelt there with lowered head
His body marked from beatings sore
Mocking words had filled him with fear and dread
And his breaking heart could take no more
The ceiling of his prayer house was the blue domed sky
And the pillars were the sycamore trees
The hedge walls of his meadow chapel echoed to his cry
As he prayed to his Saviour on his knees
Then Jesus stood near in that place
And met with the boy kneeling there
Where love was given; peace and amazing grace
And an answer to a childish prayer
The boy; now a man; looks back through the years
To that wonderful day long ago
When kneeling at a stone in sorrow and tears
His loving Saviour heard him crying in the meadow
