Child's Eyes

from Let Us Bring Light by John Michael

/

lyrics

I walk with You, but sometimes I struggle
Old scars and prejudices press me into the ground
A heavy load, yet one I cling onto
Such a sentimental burden – it’s hard to lay it down

You said, “Let the little children come to me”
But it’s always been a mystery to me
Until to my surprise
I found the answer in my daughter’s eyes

So innocent and true Everything is all brand new
Lord, my humble prayer is that I might see the world through child’s eyes

Sophistication has got me nowhere
All my plans and my schemes have gone awry
Wounded by yesterday, worried about tomorrow
Now I pray to You for a life simplified

You said, “Let the little children come to me”
But it’s always been a mystery to me
Until to my surprise
I found the answer in my daughter’s eyes

Filled with wonder at the earth Every morning a new birth
Unmarred by experience Living in the present tense
So innocent and true Everything is all brand new
Lord, my humble prayer is that I might see the world through child’s eyes
