Today, the angels had more joy,
More joy because a little boy
Heard the happy gospel story
That Jesus came to earth from glory.
And died upon a cruel tree,
So from sin he could be free;
He heard that Jesus’ blood was shed
To wash away his sins, so bad.
He simply bowed his little head,
And in his quiet heart, he said,
“Dear Jesus, I have been quite bad;
I know that it has made You sad.
I am sorry and I can see
That You died on the cross for me;
Come into my heart right now;
You can save me; You know how.”
Jesus heard him loud and clear,
And knew that he had been sincere;
His heart of love reached down from heaven,
Saved this precious boy, age seven.
This little boy was born again,
Saved for heaven, a new Christian,
And saved from hell. It was so real,
He was grinning from ear to ear!
If you’re not saved, please do this too;
Jesus died on the cross for you;
He loves you more than you’ll ever know;
Believing in Him will save your soul.
In heaven there will be more joy
Resulting from a girl or boy
Who simply took God at His word,
Confessed that Jesus was their Lord.
