Steve Green - Children Are A Treasure From The Lord lyrics

Halls ring with echoes of laughter Long after they've come and gone For the memory of a tiny face and playful grin Still brings a smile, reminding us again That children are a treasure from the Lord Songs sweetly sung by the cradle Prayers whispered just before bed And we taught them "Jesus loves you" in a simple song And we pray they won't forget their whole life long Children are a treasure from the Lord Those bright and trusting eyes Seem to take us by surprise And they see what others older seem to miss May the gift of faith they hold Grow as they grow old May they always know God will never let them go At six they're beginning their school days Sixteen and they're driving the car And at twenty-one we'll let them go on their first date But of course they'll be at home in bed by eight Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord Those bright and trusting eyes Seem to take us by surprise And they see what others older seem to miss May the gift of faith they hold Grow as they grow old May they always know God will never let them go Homes ring with echoes of laughter Long after they've come and gone And just knowing that our children really love the Lord Is a faithful parent's pa**ion and reward Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord Children are a treasure from the Lord Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord
