Let the Children Come

 

Let the children come to me do not keep them away, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Luke 18:16)

Lyric

[Verse 1]

When the sun shines on their faces - Let the laughter fill the air

In the innocence of places - Love's abundant everywhere

[Chorus]

Let the children come to me - Do not keep them from the light

For the Kingdom's where they'll be - Every wrong will turn out right

[Verse 2]

In their eyes you'll see the wonder - Hear the whispers of their dreams

In their joy we're pulled asunder - Life is brighter than it seems

[Bridge]

Where the angels sing their praises - Where the pure in heart will dwell

Oh the happiness that raises - From the stories they will tell

[Chorus]

Let the children come to me - Do not keep them from the light

For the Kingdom's where they'll be - Every wrong will turn out right

[Verse 3]

Hold their hands and show them kindness - Guide them through the shadows gray

In their hearts we'll find the brightness - Leading us to break of day
