Little Blessings

Her little face looks up to me
Her lips they hold a smile;
Her eyes they show her saddened heart
Perhaps she’ll stay awhile.

We sing and teach of Jesus love
And I watch her freckled face;
She’s captivated by the thought
Of Jesus love and grace.

As the children leave and run to play
She tugs my hand whispering softly;
I want to know about Jesus love
And why he’d die for me.

My mind racing, my heart thumping
I pray to God for truth;
This little one needs you dear Lord
Please let your love shine through.

As I open the book of many colours
And tell of Jesus love;
She whispers “Jesus loves even me?”
And her teary blue eyes turn above.

I tell her of sin and she nods her head
I tell her of Jesus payment for sin;
She fingers the page signifying His blood
And her eyes fill with tears again.

My heart aches so for this little one
I t seems so unfair;
I pray to God once again for help
“Please let me show her I care.”

I tell her the clean page story
And without a thought she bows her head;
Her simple little words bring tears to my eyes
God I’ve been blessed instead!
