Like A Child

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When this life weighs heavy on me

And grief drags at my heart,

I find myself down on my knees

Praying for a new start.

 

But maybe what I really need

Is an old start, once more.

It could be childhood’s heart of joy

That I need to restore.

 

In childhood, faith was easier,

But as the years went by

My faith’s been tested more than once,

And I have learned to cry.

 

Yet when I lift a tearful face

To rejoice in Your name,

Somehow the faith, I thought was lost,

Is, once more, mine to claim.

 

Lord, when this life weighs heavily,

Remind me I’m Your child

And let my faith flow boundlessly

That my joy may run wild.

 

Luke 18:17

Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
