Jars of Clay- Like a Child
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
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
They say that I can move the mountains
And send them crashing to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
With faith like a child
LITTLE GIRLS:
"i've got joy like a fountain"
"be kind one to the other"
"in Jesus Christ your son"
They say that I can move the mountains
And send them crashing to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
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
I think what has been tugging at me a lot as of late is the last few lines, love can heal the broken, hope can make you see.
My daughter has been having a difficult time lately. And as much as I want to sort of relish in the awesome of taking things easy and not having lists and tasks to do, she needs them. I feel like a child, whining "but I don't want to!" i don't want to have to repeat the same steps every morning and night. . .but she needs them. So we will have lists. And I hope it helps. I want her to have joy again.
