Little Feet Be Careful

 

"Therefore thus says the Lord,
Who redeemed Abraham out of Ur and idolatry,
concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not then
be ashamed; not then shall his face become pale
with fear and disappointment because of his
children's degeneracy.

For when he sees his children walking in the way
of piety and virtue, the work of My hands in his midst,
they will revere My name; they will revere the Holy One
of Jacob and reverently fear the God of Israel."
Isaiah 29:22-23

Jesus Blessing The Children

Cecily Mary Barker

I washed my hands this morning,

O very clean and bright,

And lent them both to Jesus,

To work for Him till night.

Little feet be careful

Where you take me to;

Anything for Jesus,

Only let me do.

I told my ears to listen

Quite closely all day thro'

For any act of kindness

Such little hands can do.

Little feet be careful

Where you take me to;

Anything for Jesus,

Only let me do.

My eyes are set to watch them

About their work or play,

To keep them out of mischief,

For Jesus' sake all day.

Little feet be careful

Where you take me to;

Anything for Jesus,

Only let me do.
