Your Child For One Week
(Vacation Bible School)

Lord,
‘mongst us, send those with fertile minds,
entrust to us, all those with willing hands.
Those not biased, or callused from Satan’s binds,
who will travail, united, as the oceans sands.
Give us hearts, not yet as mid summers clay,
and feet, not reluctant to run and do.
Children who will accept a challenge along the way,
but Lord, mostly, those not yet taught of you.
As servants, empower us to till this fertile ground,
and let our petitions forever be, o’er acorns we have sown.
That on a good foundation, soon mighty oaks be found,
yielding fruit for You as future years have grown.
Finally, aged saints, a plaque done at our hand,
a daily reminder from the juniors class, of words adored.
While some who view it may not think it grand,
it shares our witness,
* “But as for me and my house, we will serve the lord.”
Amen
*Joshua 24:14
