And may the love ... You always welcomed little children,
And may the love ... |

Words and tune copyright © John Hartley 2008.
Based on Mark 10:14 & 16, and 2 Cor 13:14.
Story behind the song
This song is part of my continuing effort to provide simple songs for the service of Thanksgiving and Blessing for the Gift of a Child, based on the words of Mark 10:16 "Jesus took the children in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them."
John Hartley.
Windows Media Player. When you click the left-hand "play" button your computer should have started to play the tune. If it didn't, you might be able to get the tune by clicking here, or by right-clicking the link, choosing "save target as", saving it onto your computer, and then opening it with a music-playing program.
Please remember that a midi file of a tune isn't supposed to be a state-of-the-art musical arrangement - it is only supposed to give a basic idea of how the tune goes. Any reasonable organist / keyboard player / music group could make it sound far better.
