A song I wrote for our Children's Pastor, that underlines the importance of Ministering to Kids.
No Higher Honor
(c)2008 Christopher M Solaas
He was tall and thin, and young at heart
And wise beyond his years
And he told the kids he was old and fat
And they laughed themselves to tears,
Every time the church was open
He was there to greet my kids
With a great big smile and a handshake
Or a hug
It was just what he did.
He would write them on their birthday
He never missed a one
For he prayed for every one of them
Like daughters and sons
One day I asked him why he never
Tired of the kids
And he looked me straight in the eye and said
"There is no higher Honor
Than to serve my Savior's Kids
There is no higher calling
They are where His heart is!"
It was just as much the way he was
As the many things he did
And he proved by example it was true,
There is no higher honor
Than to minister to kids.
Well, I picked up on his message
And whatever I could learn
Investing in a Kingdom
With eternal returns
"Reaching Boys and Girls for Christ,
Training Them to Serve Him."
So, listen,
It's important,
And I'll say it again...
"There is no higher Honor
Than to serve my Savior's Kids
There is no higher calling
They are where His heart is!"
It was just as much the way he was
As the many things he did
And he proved by example it was true,
There is no higher honor
Than to minister to kids.
