Twas 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
When 20 beautiful children stormed through Heaven's gate
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air
They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there
They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say
They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day
"Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is Heaven." declared a small boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house."
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same
then He opened His arms and He called called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only Heaven can bring
Those children all flew into the arms of their King
And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face
And as if He could read all the question's he had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
The He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand
"Let my power and presence re-enter this land!"
"May the country be delivered from the hands of fools,"
"I'm taking back my nation, I'm taking back my schools."
Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"Come now, my children. Let me show you around."
Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran
All displaying the enthusiasm that only a small child can
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight
"In the midst of this darkness, I am still the light."

I saw this on "Dr. Phil". I was watching it with my grandparents, not alone, on a Friday night... When I could be on Witty.
