Lyrics

Jesus called them unto him and said
Suffer the little children to come unto me
And forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God
Verily I say unto you
Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child
Shall at no wise enter therein
This is for all children of South Africa
For all children all over the world
Tell you a story
John Newton, a slave trader
One day walking down the streets of London
Passed a house of worship
And stopped to hear the people singing the Lord's praises
This moment changed his life forever
For shortly thereafter
He took his holy vows and became a priest
Known for writing hymns
His most famous hymn kinda of goes like this
Amazing, amazing grace
How, how sweet, how sweet the sound
That, that saved, it saved a wretch like me
See I, I, I, I, I once was lost
Oh, I've come home and now, now I'm found
Oh, hm-hm-hm, I was blind but now, now I, I see
Playing saxophone again is Mr. Kirk Whalum
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
My, my, my
Hallelujah
Playing keyboards, please welcome Mr. Wayne Lindsey
Yes! Yes!
All right, praise the Lord
