Twas eleven days before Christmas
Around nine-thirty eight
When 20 beautiful children
stormed heaven's gate
Their smiles were contagious
Laughter filled the air
Could hardly believe the beauty
that everyone saw there
They were filled with such joy
They didn't know what to say
Remembered nothing that happened
earlier that day
"Where are we?" asked a little girl
As quiet as a mouse
"This is heaven" said a boy
"We're spending Christmas in God's house!
When what to their wondering eyes did appear
But Jesus, their Savior,
The children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled
They smiled just the same
Then He opened his arms and called them each by name
And in that moment of joy
Only heaven can bring
Those children flew
Into the arms of their King
And as they lingered there
In the warmth of His embrace
A small girl turned and
Looked into His face
As if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered,
"I'll take care of Mom and Dad"

He gently whispered,
"I'll take care of Mom and Dad"
Then He looked down to earth
To the world far below
He saw all the hurt, the sorrow, the woe.
He closed His eyes and outstretched His hand,
"Let my Power and Presence re-enter this land"
"May this country be delivered
from the hands of fools
I'm taking back the nation
I'm taking back the schools"
Then He gathered them all
Without making a sound
"Come now my children
I'll show you around"
Excitement filled the air
Some skipped and some ran
Displaying enthusiasm
only a small child can.
And I heard Him proclaim
as He walked out of sight
“In all this darkness
I'm STILL THE LIGHT"
Forever in our hearts and prayers.
