Cloud Of Witnesses

We watched them runnin' down the aisles

Children's time, Sunday morning

The preacher asked them who they lovedThey all smiled and started pointing to their mom

Their dad, the teacher from their kindergarten class

And each and every one had just come fromA cloud of witnesses

That would see them through the years

Cheer them with a smile

And pray them through the tearsA cloud of witnesses

That would see them to the end

And shower them with love that never ends

A cloud of witnessesThey stuck together through the years

The best of friends faith could foster

So when they found out one of them

Had heard the news he'd lost his fatherThey ran to him and prayed

And put their hands upon his head

And slowly one by one

They'd all becomeA cloud of witnesses

As they sent above a prayer

They took a hold of hands and

Circled 'round a friendA cloud of witnesses

With a faith just like a rock

They helped him give his father back to God

As a cloud of witnessesSo when it comes the time

That heaven calls

They'll come running to see the

Ones who've gone beforeAnd made the journey home to find

Waiting for them at the finish line

Cheerin' happily they will run

And they will seeA cloud of witnesses

Lined up on a street of gold

As they run the final mile

That leads them to a throneAnd through the cloud of witnesses

They see God upon the throne

And as they fall into His arms

They know they're home in

A cloud of witnessesSurrounded by a cloud of witnesses

We watched them runnin' down the aisles

Children's time, Sunday morning
