ALL CHILDREN SHOULD KNOW JESUS

Has God given you children, and do you thank Him each day,
And are you teaching them to love Him and walk in His way?
Have you been an example for your children to learn;

Do they always see you making Jesus your main concern?
The things that you do set up the patterns for them,
So let them see Jesus in your life over and over again.
Nothing that you teach them should come before Him

Because a life without Jesus is a life totally dim.
Without Him they will miss His marvelous light
That will always be with them each day and each night
Guiding their conscience in the way they should go.

I'm sure it is exactly what God would like them to know.
When you do this, they'll receive His unbelievable joy
Far more exciting and inspiring than their favorite toy.

Now perhaps you've not been blessed with this wonderful gift,
But there is another way guaranteed to give you a lift.
Are there kids down the street or perhaps right next door
You could pick up for Sunday School for God's Word to explore?

God wants them in church because it's what He expects
So He can place His crown of salvation around those sweet little necks!
A neighbor took me to church and God planted the seed;
He knew later in life that it was Him I would need.

I'm so thankful they took me so I could learn of His way
Because His love guides and rules in this old heart today.
If we planted Jesus in every child's heart and marrow,
I promise this world would be a better place tomorrow.

NEVER miss an opportunity or let any chance go by
To bring a child to Christ because I know you know why.
Because when you teach a child His Way to live,

You've given them the best you can possibly give.
So influence your children or others nearby;
Their lives will be fulfilling when on Him they rely.
But even better than that is the gift they'll receive
A life without end because you taught them to believe!
