I HELD THE LAMB

I held the lamb the teacher had brought,     

It was the way she obedience taught,

For any child who obeyed fully,

Could hold the lamb so very woolly.

I held the lamb the teacher had said,

That would by her good children be held,

But how did I get this lamb, I mean

I was not a member of the team.   
                                                          

I held the lamb the teacher had owned,

And thought about the Lamb on the throne,

Was there a word, a lesson for me?

Was there a vision of truth to see?

I held the lamb the teacher had brought,

O how it occupied all my thought,

Does God His own Lamb to children give?

When we’re obedient and to Him live?

I held the lamb, the teacher’s own toy,

Though not a child, it brought inner joy,

To hold it, e’en for but a second,

Awesomeness came to me from beyond.

Amen!
