Gods Loan Ill lend to you for a little time, A child of mine, He said, For you to love the while she lives And mourn for when shes dead. It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three, But will you till I call her back, Take care of her for me? Shell bring her charms to gladden you And should her stay be brief, Youll have these precious memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. Ive looked this world over, In my search for teachers true. In the crowds that throng lifes land, I have selected you. Now will you give her all your love Not think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come to call To take her back again? It seems to me I heard them say, Dear Lord, thy will be done. For all the joys a child shall bring, The risk of grief well run. Well shelter her with tenderness, Well love her while we may, And for the happiness weve known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for him Much sooner than weve planned, Well brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand. Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them; for such is the Kingdom of God. Mark 10:14 Source/Author Unknown
