When Jesus Teaches Children

Lyrics

Verse 1
When parents teach our children
We teach them to obey (Eph. 6:1, Col. 3:20, Deut. 6:4-9)
To trust the truth we tell them
To shun the scoffer’s way (Ps. 1:1)
But Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13)
Where the lamb and lion feed (Isa. 11:6)
‘Cause when Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13)
He will teach them how to lead (Isa. 11:6)

Verse 2
When parents teach our children
We teach them when to fight (Jude 1:3)
To honor truth and justice
And stand for what is right (Eph. 6:13)
But Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13, Matt. 19:14, Mark 10:14, Luke 18:16)
In the land the blessed seek (Matt. 5:3-5)
‘Cause when Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13)
He will teach them to be meek (Matt. 5:5, Ps. 37:11, Matt. 11:29)

Verse 3
When parents teach our children
We hold them in our hands
But then we must release them
To live in hostile lands (II Tim. 3:12, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:9, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17)
But Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13)
Where the living waters flow (Rev. 7:17, John 4:10-14, Rev. 22:1-2, Ezek. 47:1-12)
‘Cause when Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13)
He will never let them go (John 10:28-29)

Tag
But Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13)
Where the ruby towers glow (Isa. 54:12)
‘Cause when Jesus teaches children (Isa. 54:13)
He will never let them go
