IN HONOR and MEMORY OF THE CHILDREN AND TEACHERS FROM SANDY HOOK
TWAS 11 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AROUND 9:38
WHEN 20 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN STORMED THRU HEAVENS GATE
THEIR SMILES WERE CONTAGIOUS THEIR LAUGHTER FILLED THE AIR
THEY COULD HARDLY BELIEVE ALL THE BEAUTY THEY SAW THERE
THEY WERE FILLED WITH SUCH JOY THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY
THEY REMEMBERED NOTHING OF EHAT HAPPENED EARLIER THAT DAY
WHERE ARE WE? ASKED A LITTLE GIRL AS QUIET AS A MOUSE
THIS IS HEAVEN DECLARED A SMALL BOY WE ARE SPENDING CHRISTMAS AT GODS HOUSE
WHEN WHAT TO THEIR WONDERING EYES SHOULD APPEAR
BUT JESUS THEIR SAVIOR THE CHILDREN GATHERED NEAR
HE LOOKED AT THEM AND SMILED AND THEY SMILED JUST THE SAME
THEN HE OPENED HIS ARMS AND HE CALLED THEM BY NAME
AND IN THAT MOMENT WAS JOY THAT ONLY HEAVEN CAN BRING
THOSE CHILDREN ALL FLEW TO THE ARMS OF THEIR KING
AND AS THEY LINGERED IN THE WARMTH OF HIS EMBRACE
ONE SMALL GIRL TURNED AND LOOKED AT JESUS FACE
AND AS IF HE COULD READ ALL THE QUESTIONS SHE HAD
HE GENTLY WHISPERED TO HER I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOM AND DAD
THEN HE LOOKED DOWN ON EARTH THE WORLD FAR BELOW
HE SAW ALL OF THE HURT THE SORROW THE WOE
THEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND OUTSTRETCHED HIS HAND
LET MY POWER AND PRESENCE RE ENTER THIS LAND
MAY THIS COUNTRY BE DELIEVERD FROM THE HANDS OF FOOLS
IAM TAKING BACK MY NATION I AM TAKING BACK MY SCHOOLS
THEN HE AND THE CHILDREN STOOD UP WITH A SOUND
COME NOW MY CHILDREN LET ME SHOW YOU AROUND
EXCITEMENT FILLS THE SPACE SOME SKIPPED AND SOME RAN
ALL DISPLAYING ENTHUSIASM THAT ONLY A SMALL CHILD CAN
AND I HEARD HIM PROCLAIM AS HE WALKED OUT OF SIGHT
IN THE MIDST OF THE DARKENESS
I AM STILL THE LIGHT!
