'Responsibility'

'Responsibility'

A child...Oh what a precious thing

A gift from our dear Heavenly King

To mold in such a few short years

A job immense with many fears

This child is His and we are just

To care for him...he is our trust

Be mindful too ...that God can call

Him home when he is very small.

And when the day...before Him stand

Ourselves...the question He'll demand

How did you rear this child to be?

Have you taught him well?

Does he know Me?

A child...Oh what a precious thing

A gift from our dear Heavenly King

A greater job we'll never know

Nor joy...if we but in Him grow.
