Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow black and white,
they are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Dear Alanna, please take a moment from your day to read this
Dear Alanna, I'm so sorry if what I said last night caused you distress
I remember clearly, when you were only five years old
You sang about how Jesus loved the children
You smiled from ear to ear, your love for Him was clear
As you sang a child's love song to Jesus
You sang…

Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow black and white,
they are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Dear Alanna, ten years have come and gone
You've changed and how you've grown
Your child's smile seldom crosses your face now
I've seen you make painful mistakes
I've seen the price you've had to pay
Your tender heart has grown cold now
Can you still hear….

Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow black and white,
they are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

As parents we all know that God has got a plan,
Sometimes it seems our children
Just don't understand
But remember….

Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow black and white,
they are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

The ones who argue, fuss and fight
Lord keep them safe tonight
Jesus loves all of the children of the world

Jesus loves those great big children
Our precious , wandering children
Jesus loves all of the children of the world
