The Thoughts Of A Child 

The child in me, has many things to learn
For the brighter day and meeting You, I so yearn
This child has a heart that knows not  much
But knew  less before I felt Your Holy Touch

Life is such a mystery that... we'll  never know
But Lord, just a little change each day
so we'll know all that's in store
Then tomorrow, there is always more
Thank You Lord, for Your mercy on me
But still I long to know the real kind of Father
And Holy One that would be thee

That fills my longings to be loved and cared for
I can for sure --- say there is no end to all You do
Lord help us all as we go forward and endure
It's too much for a child to understand but
This child knows... that the story goes...
That someday we will all have a new song
This child also knows that it won't be too long

As the world is turning fast into a furnace of sin and shame
That old satan himself is the one to blame
Lord, help us rebuke this dirty old man...
We want to send him to Hell as soon as we can
There is no room in this world for the likes of him
Let us kick him so hard, he just hangs till...
Gets out of our world... with his sin and crime

Let us live in peace and with Your blessings sublime
The child in me sees so much... I know is not right
Lord Jesus, please hold me ever so tight
Don't let me wander and even think about the world
Want to be treated like Your baby girl
