May I come to your church today
Folder:
Children "May I come to your church today
To see you worship, sing and pray?”
“You wouldn't find it any fun.
When you are older you may come."
"But I would like to come and see
And worship with the family."
"You wouldn't like our songs at all,
The children's church is down the hall."
"But I love Jesus, this is true
Can I be a disciple too?"
"Just wait, the time will come to pass
For you to join disciple's class."
"May I tell you why I'm crying?
Did you know my Grandpa's dying?"
"When you grow old enough, you'll know
That there's a time we all must go."
"Can you tell, I'm asking you,
Are all the Bible stories true?"
"Please put aside your questions, do.
If I believe it, why can't you?"
"My friends at school say I'm a freak
Because I go to church each week."
"You take no notice what they say.
You're growing up the Christian way."
"Can I come in? Do I belong?
Can I do something brave or strong?"
"Be patient, You're the church tomorrow
When you have learned our ways to follow."
As time went by, the child grew bolder
Growing taller, growing older
Looking for love and care and nurture
Some day, later, in the future.
When someone in the church will say,
Come, you may join the church today.
But alas the child has gone away.
