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

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
