This song is about remembering those children who never were born, and expressing the wonder of what might have been. The precious little ones that were gone too soon. My wife and I have had more than one instance of this, and we anxiously await the day when we will see them again in heaven. We anticipate them running into our arms and it will be as if we were never separated. God, please take care of our precious little ones until the time we see them again.............

CHILDREN IN HEAVEN
©2008 Duane Rod

Sometimes I wonder how it might be
If our child was here with you and me
Would she be a tomboy or wearing lace
Would I see you in her face

We just can’t help every now and then
To ask the question how it might have been
Would he be like me in every way
Would he crawl in my lap at the end of the day

CHORUS
Children in heaven, precious little ones
Gone too soon, oh so soon
Now cradled in the arms of the loving Father
Our little son, our little daughter
Children in heaven, precious little ones

We never saw their face or their smile
We never felt their touch or held their hands
Neither mama or daddy did they ever say
Your see they never saw the light of day

God we don’t understand, we don’t know why
Some will live and some have to die
Our hope remains in the words You say
We’ll all be together again one day
