A Little Child

A Little Child Looked Up One Day

March 9, 2000—1:57 p.m. EST

A little child looked up one day,

Never heard that she should pray

-But-

When she saw the heavens above,

Was struck with wonder at God’s love.

A man came by and saw her look,

Had in his hand a little book.

- And-

Began to tell her of God’s grace,

And Jesus met her in that place.

How sad men struggle all alone,

As God calls to them from his throne.

-Just-

To offer love from day to day,

If they will bow to Him and pray.

How strange a little girl can see,

How Christ has come to set men free.

-When-

Men full grown go on their way,

And never think to kneel and pray.

Well, God is merciful and wise,

He wants to open paradise

-So

If you hear his call of love,

Just raise your heart to him above.

Then like the little girl you’ll see,

The only one who sets men free

-He-

Who died to save the human race,

From death and Hell and sin’s disgrace.
