A Child Again

Lord, let me be a child again, Just far enough back where I knew no sin. Then Lord close off all roads that lead me wrong, Let me feel your presence and know I belong. The mistakes I’ve made just won’t let go, That’s why I’ve turned to you don’t you know. You’ve always been there in my times of despair, No matter how low I get, I know you’ll always care. I have no strength, it is You who are strong, You are my light, the words to my song. When I am lost you are my beacon that brings me back, When I am weak You are the strength that I lack. Teach me Your ways so that I might delight, And make You happy this very night. Show me what I need to do, So that I may be a beacon that shines for you. You give me strength when I am weak, You’re all I need, You’re all I seek. You are that lost feeling inside of me, When You’re not there is when I feel lost you see. It’s up to me to hold on tight, And claim Your love that feels so right.
