A Cloud of Witnesses

Watched them running down the aisles

Children's time, Sunday morning

Preacher asks them who they love

They all smiled and started pointing

To their mom, dad, teacher from their kindergarten class

Each and every one, have just become

Cloud of witnesses

That would see them through the years

Cheer them with a smile

Pray them through the tears

Cloud of witnesses

That would see them to the end

Shower them with love that never ends

A cloud of witnesses

Stuck together through the years

Best of friends faith could foster

So When they found out one of them

Heard the news, he lost his father,

They ran to him, prayed and put their hands upon his head

Slowly one by one, have all become

Cloud of witnesses

As they sent above a prayer

Took ahold of hands

Circled round a friend

Cloud of witnesses

With a faith just like a rock

Helped him give his father back to God

As a cloud of witnesses

So when it comes the time

Heaven calls, they'll come running

To see the ones who've gone before

Ran the race, and made the journey home

To find waiting for them at the finish line, cheering happily

They will run, they will see

Cloud of Witnesses

Lined up on a street of gold

As they run the final mile

That leads them to the throne

Cloud of Witnesses

They see God upon the throne

As they fall into His arms they know they're home

In a cloud of witnesses

Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses

Watched them running down the aisles

Children's time, Sunday morning
