Poem of Comfort When We Mourn the Death of a Child

But Jesus said, 

Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me:

for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matt.19:14

Jesus Friend of little Children/Jesus loves Me

Keith and Kristyn Getty

 

Safe from earth’s pain and grief

Safe from its fear and fraud

Safe from its snares of unbelief

Safe in the arms of God

Safe from man’s violence

Safe from horrors of war

Safe from corruption’s consequence

Safe, safe forevermore

Safe from hunger’s distress

Safe from time’s trouble-trove

Safe from hatred’s unhappiness

Safe in the arms of love
