Look at Them!

Missing image

Look at them, Father


Aren't they as precious as You planned it


It never crossed her mind back then


That soon, she'd hold them in her hands




And now look, Father


She's taking them every sunday


Teaching them how to pray and love


So when they're all grown, they'll do as she does






But in the meantime


Let's watch them swing


For someday, We know they'll earn their wings


After all, Moms' spent her share of days and nights


On faithful bended knees




Father, Father


I thank you for


The little girls and little boys




Oh Son, My Son


As You can see


They are my pride and joy


I made them with You in mind


For You too were once


My precious Baby Boy
