Lift Up Your Heart

There’s a friend for little children, above the bright blue sky,
A friend who never changes,whose love can never die.
Unlike our friends by nature,who change with changing years
This friend is always worthy of that dear name he bears.
******************
There’s a rest for little children above the bright blue sky,
Who love the blessed Saviour, and to the Father cry.
A rest for every turmoil, from sin and sorrow free,
Where every little pilgrim, shall rest eternally.
*****************
There’s a home for little children above the bright blue sky.
Where Jesus reigns in glory, a home of peace and joy.
No home on earth is like it or can with it compare,
For everyone is happy, nor could be happier, there.
*****************
There’s a crown for little children above the bright blue sky,
And all who look for Jesus shall wear it by and by:
A crown of brightest glory, which he will then bestow
On those who found his favour and loved his name below.

This is the reading that was read at the service for my dear nephew.
I do not know the author but I dedicate it to Jamie Bird the bravest little boy I ever met.
