Little hands,

Little hands,

Little hands,
Little hands,

Little hands, shoeless feet, lonely eyes looking back at me
Will we leave behind the innocent too brief

 

On their own, on the run when their lives have only begun
These could be our daughters and our sons

 

And just like a drum I can hear their hearts beating
I know my God won’t let them be defeated
Every child has a dream to belong and be loved

 

Boys become kings, girls will be queens
Wrapped in Your majesty
When we love, when we love the least of these
Then they will be brave and free
Shout Your name in victory
When we love, when we love the least of these
When we love the least of these

 

Break our hearts once again, help us to remember when
We were only children hoping for a friend
Won’t you look around

 

These are the lives that the world has forgotten
Waiting for doors of our hearts and our homes to open

 

If not us who will be like Jesus
To the least of these
If not us tell me who will be like Jesus
Like Jesus to the least of these

 

We will love the least of these
We will love the least of these
We will love the least of these
We will love the least of these
