Lyrics
Do you remember when you were a kid
All of the wonderful things that you did
Wasn't it great the way life was much more simple back then
Never a worry or care on your mind
All of your troubles you left far behind
Wouldn't it be great to go back and live like children again
CHORUS:
Oh when I grow up I wanna be just like a little child
I wanna jump into my Daddy's arms just to see Him smile
With a simple faith, so innocent and undefiled
Oh when I grow up I wanna be just like a little child
BRIDGE:
I'm not saying every day should be just like a trip to Disneyland
But when I say I wanna be like a child I hope you understand
As I'm living in the family of the Father it occurs to me
That a life that's filled with Jesus' love is a life of gentleness and humility
Jesus said if we want to receive
All of the blessings of those who believe
We must become just like children to go through heaven's door
Won't it be great when we look on His face
After a lifetime of growing in grace
All of God's children will stand before Him fully mature
Repeat CHORUS 2 X
