ENTERING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

The Disciples of the Lord Jesus made a mistake one day;

Children were stopped from coming to Jesus, to their dismay.

He had to tell His Disciples that they were wrong in thought;

Children are precious and to Jesus they are ever to be brought.

To show them what He meant, Jesus called a little child;

The child may be very young, and may be meek and mild;

But the little one can learn to love God with all his heart;

To every one, God promises, that He would never depart.

Each and every child is precious in God’s loving sight;

Jesus was sent to teach everyone; He would be their Guide.

He would lead them each and every day and He would not fail;

He would lead them all the way to Heaven, He will always prevail.

Jesus used children as an example of entering heaven;

Little ones are without guile, like bread without leaven.

In their simple ways they can learn to believe in the Saviour;

Jesus comes into their heart and He can change their behaviour.
