I got this from
T'WAS 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38,
When 20 beautiful children,
Stormed through Heaven's 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 didn't know what to say.
They remembered nothing of what
had happened earlier that day.
"Where are we?" asked a little girl,
As quiet as a
mouse.
"This is heaven." declared a small boy.
"We're spending Christmas at God's house."
Then what to their wondering eyes did appear,
But Jesus, their Saviour,
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 into
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'll take care of mom and
dad."
Then He looked down on earth,
The world far below
He saw all of the hurt,
The sorrow, and woe.
Then He closed His eyes and
He outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence
re-enter this land!"
"May this country be delivered
from the hands of fools"
"I'm taking back my nation.
I'm taking back my schools!"
Then He and the children
stood up without a sound.
"Come now my children,
Let me show you around."
Excitement filled 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 this darkness,
I AM STILL THE
LIGHT."
