CHILD OF GOD

  

“O Jesus, Lord Jesus,

Be with me today,

And comfort and guide me

So I may not stray.”

 

The prayer of the child

Reached the ears of the Lord,

Who came down from Heaven

As good as His Word.

 

The boy went to church

And held Jesus’ hand;

And after the service

The deacon, a man

 

Whom everyone trusted,

Asked him to stay

And help with the cleaning--

We left him that day.

 

But three years later

He broke down and cried,

And told us what happened

The day Jesus died.
