Childlike

Childlike

by Joel Howard

It's how you want me

Ever seeking

Like a child

Daily-bread-receiving

Fair's fair

You are King

I'm Your servant

Owing everything

Childlike dependence

Eager, singing

Not at all embarrassed

Of the childness in me

Faking? Not good at it

Evil? It's scary

Father, I'm running

To you

Of all else, I'm wary

Faith like children

Faith like a child

Daddy, bear me

Up when it is cold outside

I'm cold

I say

You pick me up today

I'm sad

I say

You lift me up today

You shine

Your face

Your smile

Upon me, God

I like a child

Surrender all O God

It's enough

To be a child

No degrees

No bills

No worries in the world

Every day is a snow day

I with you can and will stay

Tenderness is never out of style

With me being Your child

Eagerness is never frowned upon

With me being Your son

Cradle me like never before

Comfort me, I'm not scared to be Yours

Figure out what I could never do

I prefer just being with You!

Isn't that what all children do?!
