“Suffer little children to come unto me
for of such is the kingdom of God.”
God sent His Son to earth for us
to shed His precious blood.
Jesus suffered many things for you and me
Everything on Calvary
Bore the pain and agony
Of our sins to set us free.
He bore the guilt and shame and loss,
They nailed Him to the rugged cross.
He paid the price, oh, what a price
For all our sins, such sacrifice.
They planted thorns upon His head
And the blood flowed crimson red,
Scourged Him, mocked Him, spat in His face
Yet He gave us life through grace.
He just prayed, “Father, Thy will.”
After all we’ve done, He loves us still.
As little children we must come
To God the Father through the Son.
As little children we must obey
And strive to do His will each day.
After all you’ve done to Him
He loves you
After all He’s done for you
What will you do?
Written May 1974
