Hugs Are Free - Mary Rice Hopkins
You pull yourself out of bed to get to church on time
'Cause you're a teacher and little Bobbie's waiting there in line
He's there for Sunday School but it's hard to believe
The highlight for this little boy is when you say
"Hugs are free"
So thank you for teaching them
And showing them the way
Thank you for bringing them
The gospel every day
But most of all I thank you for
The love behind your smile
For you have made a difference in the life
Of a child
Life at home for Bobbie is never quite the same
He hides hus hurt inside 'neath the heartache and the shame
But when he hears the story of how Jesus died for him
His eyes well up with tears and he asks the Savior in
So thank you for teaching them
And showing them the way
Thank you for bringing them
The gospel every day
But most of all I thank you for
The love behind your smile
For you have made a difference in the life
Of a child
So years go by and life has changed
Now he's a married man
Through all his heartache he's reminded of God's plan
So he returns to Sunday School and says
"Remember me "
"I've come back to thank you
'Cause I know your hugs are free"
So thank you for teaching them
And showing them the way
Thank you for bringing them
The gospel every day
But most of all I thank you for
The love behind your smile
For you have made a difference in the life
Of a child
So thank you for teaching them
And showing them the way
Thank you for bringing them
The gospel every day
But most of all I thank you for
The love behind your smile
For you have made a difference in the life
Of a child
Of a child
Of a child
