Teach The Children
by Barbara Philbrook

Children are precious to our Father above,
and those who teach them are special vessels of His love.

Children come into this world pure and undefiled,
and as the grow may become rebellious and wild.

The children are to be led in the way they should go,
we must protect them and not let them slip below.

The children must hear the word right from God's Book,
from a teacher who shows them where to look.

They need someone to set an example of a Godly life,
and to extol the value of a virtuous wife.

They must reveal God's salvation plan,
and explain how we are each shaped by God's own hand.

Little children are God's precious treasure,
and those teaching them are esteemed an extra measure.

Praise God for giving us servers in this field,
and may they be Blessed by a bountiful yield.
