Lyrics

IT WAS TWENTY FOUR DAYS
INTO THE MONTH OF MAY
WHEN NINETEEN CHILDREN CAME THRU HEAVENS GATES
THERE SMILES WERE CONTAGIOUS
THERE LAUGHTER FILLED THE AIR
THEY COULD HARDLY BELIEVE
WHAT THEY WERE SEEING THERE
THERE WAS NO MEMORY OF THAT FATEFUL DAY
WHERE ARE WE
ASKED THE LITTLE GIRL IN HER OWN LITTLE WAY
YOU ARE NOW IN HEAVEN AWAY FROM ALL THE PAIN
WHERE OUR HEARTS ARE FILLED WITH JOY
WHERE LIFE ON EARTH WAS NOT THE SAME
WHEN WHAT TO THERE WONDERING EYES IT DID APPEAR
BUT JESUS THEIR SAVIOR
AS THE CHILDREN GATHERED NEAR
HE LOOKED AT THEM AND SMILED
AS THEY SMILED JUST THE SAME
THEN HE OPENED UP HIS ARMS
AND HE CALLED THEM ALL BY NAME
AND IN THAT MOMENT
THERE WAS JOY
THAT ONLY HEAVEN CAN BRING
AS THE CHILDREN FLEW INTO THE ARMS
OF THERE HEAVENLY KING
AS THEY LINGERED IN HIS WARM EMBRACE
ONE SMALL GIRL TURNED LOOKED AT JESUS FACE TO FACE
AND AS IF HE COULD READ ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT SHE HAD
HE GENTLY WISPERED TO HER
I'LL TAKE CARE OF MOM AND DAD
THEN HE LOOKED DOWN ON EARTH AT THE WORLD FAR BELOW
HE SAW ALL THE HURT THE SORROW THE WOE
THEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES
AND OUTSTECHED HIS HANDS
LET MY POWER AND MY PRESENCE REENTER THIS LAND
I NOW SEND PEACE TO ALL THE HURTING MOMS AND DADS
WHO INSTANTLY AND SENSELESSLY LOST LOVED ONES THEY ONCE HAD
MAY THIS COUNTRY BE DELIVERED FROM THE HANDS OF THE FOOLS
I'M TAKING BACK MY NATION I'M TAKING BACK MY SCHOOLS
VENGENCE IS MINE IN TIME I WILL REPAY
VENGENCE IS MINE IN TIME I WILL REPAY
THEN HIM 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 ENTHUSIASUM
AS 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 AM STILL THE LIGHT
