Little boys and little girls -The arms of Jesus

LITTLE BOYS AND LITTLE GIRLS ALL AROUND THE WORLD
They laugh with friends they run around and play throughout the day
When the sun begins to set
And the moon shows its face

It’s time for bed
It’s time for rest
Rest your head in the arms of Jesus

Little boys and little girls all around the world
They laugh with friends they run around and play throughout the day
Then they read their favourite stories
Kiss their Mums and Dads goodnight

Good night sleep tight
Good night sleep tight
Rest your head in the arms of Jesus

Say goodnight to the sun
Hello to the moon
Good night good night

Andreana Arganda
