Lead you to the better land,
For I love the little children of the world.”

Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.

All are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

 
 
Jesus is the Shepherd true,
And He’ll always stand by you,
For He loves the little children of the world;
He’s a Savior great and strong,
And He’ll shield you from the wrong,
For He loves the little children of the world.

saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

Read Aloud Poetry
 
 
In The Holy Mountains


There is shelter in His Mountains
And gardens that smell sweet
Gladness fills the hearts of those
As the Shepherd here will greet.

Greet them and offer pastures
That feed His timid sheep
Upon the holy mountains
Guarded in His keep.

Streams sing softly in the light
Quenching the thirst of a fawn
Peaceful is the blessed season
And the gift of every dawn.

Golden flowers are everywhere
A site to behold and see
Perfumed scents, they freely share
Then rise and float to Heaven.

Beautiful are His Mountains,
That nourish the good flock
Led by One who loves them
Our Shepherd and our Rock.




Psalm 87:1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Isaiah 40: 11 He shall feed his flock like a Shepherd:
 he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those
 that are with young.
