This song was inspired by a poem written by Debbie Rogers.
Toy Phone Verse I walked to my little boy’s room He was sitting on the twentieth floor Dialing numbers on his toy phone I watched him from the door The little numbers jiggling Then I heard my sweet boy say Hello Jesus, can you hear me? Will you teach my Daddy to pray? Verse All the breath I had rushed out of me I fell down onto my knees As I heard him asking in his voice “Jesus, can you save my Daddy please?” He then said, “Goodbye Jesus Can the angels sing me to sleep?” All that I could do Was hang my head and weep Chorus Take comfort my little child Lay down in your warm bed The Lord has heard your crying So rest your weary head Beginning with this day Your father you have shown The need for him to pray Because of this toy phone Verse I picked up my little sleeping boy Tucked him safely in his bed Then placed that little telephone On the pillow by his head Leaning down to kiss him I let out a long sigh Coming from that little phone I heard the angel’s lullaby Chorus Take comfort my little child Lay down in your warm bed The Lord has heard your crying So rest your weary head Beginning with this day Your father you have shown The need for him to pray Because of this toy phone Verse That night before I went to bed I knelt down and I prayed I closed my eyes and thanked the Lord For showing me the way And I’ll never be alone I’ll never forget that evening When he called Jesus on his phone Copyright ©2008 Debbie Rogers/Marvin H Lane
