Like A Child

Jars Of Clay

Lyrics
Dear God, surround me as I speak
The bridges that I walk across are weak
And the 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
But 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
Well, 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

"I've got joy like a fountain!"
"Be kind unto others"
"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
