Who is Minding
the Children
Who is minding the children?
Who is minding the children?
Are they not God’s heritage?
Who is guiding them along life’s way?
Who is caring for them as selected arrows?
Who is rescuing them from paedophiles?
If not me or you then who?
From traffickers and sexual exploiters?
Someone has to do it, is it me or you?
Helpless they are and bound by fear and grief
Who is minding the children,
Who is minding the children?
As they go from day to day?
As they lay destitute by the wayside or in the home,
Some suffering ones need our help;
In alleys and streets, motherless, fatherless, helpless!
Let’s hear their cry and see their struggles,
Begging and crying for love and attention;
Rush to meet their needs.
Their cries have touched the Father’s heart.
Who is minding the children?
Who is minding the children?
Some are lonely, abused, rejected, and neglected,
Who may need a kind word or a loving touch,
Some hungry, naked, and abandoned,
A good deed done or to be pointed in the right way?
Some dysfunctional, some confused,
Allow them all to come to Jesus who loves them,
Hear their cry reach out to them without delay.
Give them God’s love, show them the Father’s heart. © Jennifer Williams | September 2021 October - December 2021
