A Child's Faith

 

Jesus loves me this I know

|For the Bible tells me so.

Little children ask no more,

For love is all they're looking for.

"Come and See"

And in a small child's shining eyes

The Faith of all the ages lies-

And tiny hands and tousled heads

That kneel in prayer by little beds,

Are closer to the dear Lord's heart

And of His kingdom more a part

Then we who search and never find

The answers to our questioning mind.

O Father, grant once more to men,

A simple Child-like Faith again.
