by Paul Mayes Jamar

Psalm 36:7

God spreads a tremendous shadow
protecting us from the enemy's arrow.

His loving kindness is endless to us
so much that He gave us His Son, Jesus.

Your Children put their trust in only You,
for they have searched, and their God they knew.

Having a personal relationship every day
with Christ, their Lord, to whom they pray.

No greater love is this, that Jesus did die
in our stead, to pay our penalty, and lift us up high.

As little chicks, we are protected by our mother hen
from all danger, and fed good things, not sin.

Nurture us Lord Jesus under thy wing,
and in Heaven your praises we will always sing.
