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.
