Should you teach your child
The sign for peace and love
Or the skull that is danger,
To share your hopes with all
Or never talk to strangers.

Should you teach your child
To go and preach the Word
To shout it far and nigh,
Where any that may claim it
Would surely have to die.

Should you teach your child
That all is being measured
Do good and you’ll be blessed,
Yet the sinner crucified
Has found eternal rest.

Should you teach your child
That he must follow you?
Or seek God to be his Father,
If we lead them all to Christ
Would these matters bother?
