lyrics

It was time for bed; time to read and to pray
Forget it, Daddy said, it won't help anyway
Sis was all of six and here brother only four
But she could read Bible stories like Momma did before

Faith like a child; Oh handle with care
One day you’ll look and it won’t be there
Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials?
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child

Momma hid her treasures deep in their hearts
Daddy was so broken, the house of cards fell apart
Sis read Momma’s Bible and as they started to pray
Daddy walked in the room ‘cause he just had to say

Faith like a child; Oh handle with care
One day you’ll look and it won’t be there
Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child

So Daddy wrote this song as a tiny reminder
To love the Word of God and to be a whole lot kinder
He hopes and he prays though it might take awhile
That God will restore his faith like a child

Faith like a child; Oh handle with care
One day you’ll look and it won’t be there
Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials?
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
