COME, CHILDREN, COME
Author(s): Ricky
Songbook: Aaron David Songbook
KeyWords: Resting in the Lord,

From cities and highways,
Nations and countries,
They're comin' over mountains
And crossing the seas.
Broken people come
With bleeding hearts worn,
To a new world, with new people,
God's Love has born.
They come with broken hearts
As warm as the sun,
He's calling out your name,
Come children, come children,
Come children, come. . .

Children refused,
Rejected, confused,
Fleeing all countries
Where they've been misused
Take what they can carry
And don't look behind,
To a new world with new people
They know they will find.
Into open hearts as warm as the sun,
He's calling out your names,
Come children, come children,
Come children, come -children-

Princes and princesses
Dance and they sing.
Kissing the words
Of our New Nation's King;
With the wisdom of old,
He sits with the rod.
We are the Children
Of the Kingdom of God.
Brothers and sisters
Loving and sharing with one another. . .
It's finally come, we've just begun,
Love everyone, we are the Kingdom of Heaven!
