To Be Like A Child

He rushes through his homework so he and his

friends can play

Their imaginations soaring, they play the day away

Sometimes their tempers flare and they have a fight

But in a matter of moments everything's all right

they're quick to forgive and make it right

Children are, that's a child's heart

Chorus:

I want to be like a child an hold my friends dear

And when I'm hurting inside and I'm running scared

It's to my Father's arms I'll go to hold me near

I want a childlike spirit that's quick to forgive

To leave the past alone where wrong appeared

Yeah when I grow up I want to be like a little child

I'm a young lady now and my future seems unclear

I have a heart full of confusion and a head telling me to run scared

I cry for things to be simple like when I was a girl

When I ran to Daddy's arms and felt safe from the world

Take me back to this place again dear Yah, a child's heart, a child's heart

(Chorus)

(At the same time came the disciples unto Yahshua saying "Who shall be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"  And Yahshua called a little child unto him and sat him in the midst of them and said "Verily I say unto you except  you be converted and become as little children you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,  the same is  greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me")

Yah when I grow up I want to be like a child

Have a heart that's innocent with hope and a smile

And when I'm hurting inside I'll run into Your arms

Be quick to forgive when I am done wrong

And to make things right when I have hurt someone

Yeah, when I grow up I want to be like a little child

Yah, when I grow up I want to be like a little child
