You can have your wealth and riches All the things so many seek, Position, power, and success, The fame you long to keep.

You can earn as much as you wish, Reach a status high above, But none of these can equal Having one sweet child to love.

'Tis the greatest gift from heaven, Little arms that hold you tight, And a kiss so soft and gentle When you tuck them in at night.

A million precious questions And each story often read, Two eyes so bright and smiling, And a darling tousled head.

God has never matched the goodness Of a trusting little face, Or a heart so full of laughter Spreading sunshine every place.

A child to hold and cuddle, 'Tis a gift from God above, And the world is so much brighter When you have a child to love

Psalms 127:3

SONG PLAYING!

1. Precious gifts from God our Children are, A possession to train and to teach. Like the arrows of a mighty man We must aim them the target to reach. They are gifts from God; He says: 'Use the rod.' Yet with tenderness and loving care, Make their training a matter of prayer.

2. The real feelings in a youthful heart To draw up will require all our skill. But by starting at an early age Kingdom truth we can deeply instill. We can reach the heart If we early start. Look to God for help, on him rely, As his works we sincerely apply.

3. By communicating every day, Then our children will always feel free to express themselves without restraint; Their true friends and companions we'll be. Do not them be-rate. Just communicate. We ourselves must strive to keep from blame As these arrows we carefully aim.

4. As inheritance our children are But to God they do truly belong. They're a fruitage that brings rich rewards If we teach them the right from the wrong. how we hope and earn. that they'll really learn. Trust in God child rearing to repay. With our children let's praise him each day.

From A Distance

"From a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough, and no one is in need. And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease, no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments marching in a common band. Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace. They're the songs of every man. God is watching us. God is watching us. God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend, even though we are at war. From a distance I just cannot comprehend what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves, it's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves. This is the song of every man. And God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us from a distance. Oh, God is watching us, God is watching. God is watching us from a distance."
