Poem
He took me as a child At the tender age of eight And on that day I found the Way To enter Heaven’s gate He took me as a child When I wondered, when I cried He loved me And He chose me Even though I sinned and lied He took me as a child When I hardly had a thing Of usefulness Or preciousness That’s worthy for a King He took me as a child When I stumbled, when I fell He chose to love And strengthen me So that His praise I’d tell He took me as a child When I thought, “My selfish way Just doesn’t bring Me anything I want; it doesn’t pay.” He took me as a child When so small I was, and weak His eyes could see Some worth in me He chose my soul to seek He took me as a child Like an orphan I had been My guilt was strong I’d been so wrong But still He let me in He took me as a child In His grace, adopted me Although naive I did believe That He could set me free He took me as a child When He helped my faith to win And on that day I chose the Way That conquers death and sin He took me as a child In the days I joked and played Amidst the fun Of being young A covenant we made He took me as a child Oh, how little did I know Of what I’d see When I was free Or where my life would go He took me as a child When I hardly knew a thing Of life’s travails Of hope’s avails Of what my choice would bring He took me as a child With His love He took my heart And on that day– What peace! What joy!– Was life’s amazing start He took me as a child That was many years ago Life’s journey brings Me many things That ‘fore I didn’t know He took me as a child And I never shall forget The day that He Delivered me The day He loved me yet He took me as a child Though I’m now more strong and wise I still recall When I was small Yet valued in His eyes He took me as a child Let me never think I’m more Than tiny me Whom Yah set free Than who I was before He took me as a child That’s the greatest gift Yah’s shared All talents, joys Success, and toys Lose luster when compared He took me as a child Though the years have flown away I know I must Retain the trust I had in that blessed day He took me as a child Since that day, I’m not the same My joy, my choice Is that my voice Shall always praise His Name He took me as a child That’s where joy and hope begin Though grown we be To heaven we As children enter in He took me as a child On that day He rescued me I praise Him, for Forevermore His child I shall be
