There’s a Primary song I love called A Child’s Prayer. I’ve never been much of a Janice Kapp Perry fan but this is a notable exception. Since the nature of the duet makes this fairly impossible to play on the piano if you’re interested in hearing all the parts, at first I wasn’t interested in how this would sound in a full-on arrangement. Of foremost importance was to hear if all the parts would actually work on the piano or if it would just be too busy, so I threw together a few loops so I could hear them at the same time:

I think it holds up. Eventually I may take this one a few steps further and make it more interesting with all the usual tricks. But for now, I think it sounds pretty nice.

I love this song, too, Ryan. Very pretty. Thank you for sharing. I miss hearing you play.
I love it. Thank you for sharing your talent, hon.
Thanks! I thought you had a gravatar.
I have been looking for a solo arrangement for the piano of A Child’s Prayer. I lost mine and have no idea who did the arrangement. Do you know who or where i might get one. I am so sad without it.
thanks for your help.

This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I found this by searching for a piano solo arrangement, and I loved hearing yours.
Do you have any sheet music to your Child’s prayer arrangement? I love it and would like to play it on the piano. I am going to accompany a couple people soon and like this arrangement better than the one in the Primary book. Thanks!!
I was just messing around on my keyboard when I recorded this. As it is, it would take three or four hands to play it, since it is multiple layered recordings for the duet part. Sorry, no sheet music for that.
IS there anyway that Ican pay u for a copy of this arrangement? I have am accompanyhing some girls in church on sunday, and they are having a hard time finding the melody when u put it together..can I please pay for a copy of this version? I love IT!! Please email me at krist2002@yahoo.com
