Like a Child

[by Jars of Clay]

dear God, surround me as I speak
the bridges that I walk across are weak
frustrations fill the void that I can't solely bear
dear God, don't let me fall apart
you've held me close to you
i have turned away and searched for answers i can't understand

CHORUS:

they say that i can move the mountains
and send them falling to the sea
they say that i can walk on water
if i would follow and believe
with faith like a child

sometimes, when i feel miles away
and my eyes can't see your face
i wonder if I've grown to lose the recklessness
i walked in light of you

[CHORUS]

LITTLE GIRLS:
"i've got joy like a fountain"
"be kind one to the other"
"in Jesus Christ your son"

they say that love can heal the broken
they say that hope can make you see
they say that faith can find a Savior
if you would follow and believe
with faith like a child
