HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILDAnd whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. Matthew 18:5
A meeting was held quite far from earth; It was time for another birth. Said the angels to the Lord above, "This special child will need much love.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/angelwatchbullet.jpg) His progress may seem very slow, Accomplishments he may not show. And he'll require extra care From the folks he'll meet down there.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/angelwatchbullet.jpg) He may not run, or laugh or play--- His thoughts may seem quite far away. In many ways he won't adapt, And he'll be known as handicapped.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/angelwatchbullet.jpg) So let's be careful where he's sent--- We want his life to be content. Please Lord, find parents who will do A very special job for you.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/angelwatchbullet.jpg) They will not realize right away The leading role they're asked to play; But with this child sent from above, Comes stronger faith, and richer love.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/angelwatchbullet.jpg) And soon they'll know the privilege given In caring for this gift from heaven--- This precious charge, so meek and mild, Is Heaven's very special child.
