Lyrics

LITTLE CHILDREN
Joann Parrick/Linda Piro
2-22-04

1)
Little children, going down the road of life
Confused to where your mommy?s gone
Wondering what you did wrong
Little children, living in the midst of strife
Witness to a world so bad
Broken hearts and eyes so sad
Little children, you did nothing wrong
The Lord will keep you strong

2)
Little children, I think about you all the time
I wish that I could hold you tight
And listen to your prayers at night
Little children, sometimes grown ups make mistakes
Doing things they shouldn?t do
Taking their fears out on you
Little children, you did nothing wrong
The Lord will keep you strong

BRIDGE 1:
Love the Lord and please be kind, hold your heads up high
Keep Him close within your heart, until your teardrops dry
Forgive the ones who made you feel, afraid and all alone
Know how much I love you now and someday I?ll be home

3)
Little children I know that you?re asking why
Mom and daddy had to fight
Will they ever see the light
Oh my children, hoping all the pain will go
Waiting for that day to come
When the waiting will be done
Little children, you did nothing wrong
The Lord will keep you strong

BRIDGE 2:
Trust the Lord to keep you safe with angels from above
And no matter where you are surrounded by His love
Do the right thing every day, live by the golden rule
When you go to sleep at night, I pray your dreams come true

4)
Little children, going down the road of life
Confused to where your mommy?s gone
Wondering what you did wrong
Little children, I think about you all the time
I wish that I could hold you tight
And listen to your prayers at night
Little children, you did nothing wrong
The Lord will keep you strong

TAGS:
Little children, all God?s children
Little children, oh my children
