Let the Children Come
Adaptation of Mark 10:13-16 by Joan Szymko
Let the children come. Let the children come to me.
Do not stop them, let me touch them, let the children come to me
For the kingdom (All creations worth; God's promise at your birth.)
For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Let the children come to me.
Do not stop them, I will bless them.
Let the children come to me.
Accept God's blessings as a child.
Accept God's kingdom like a child
Unless you do it will not open to you.
Let the children come to me.
