This song expresses a frustration many Christians face as they question some of the more difficult promises of scripture. The tendency to grow to depend less on God and hope less recklessly in His promises, and the need to return to the simplicity of believing with “faith like a child.”
Dear God, surround me as I speak
The bridges that I walk across are weak
The frustrations fill the void
That I can't solely bear
Dear God, don't let me fall apart
You've held me close to you
But I have turned away and searched
For answers I can't understand
They say that I can move the mountains
And send them falling to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child
Sometimes, when I feel miles away
And my eyes can't see your face
Well, I wonder if I've grown
To lose the recklessness
I walked in light of you
They say that I can move the mountains
And send them crashing to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child
They say that I can move the mountains
And send them crashing to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child
They say that love can heal the broken
They say that hope can make you see
They say that faith can find a Savior
If you would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child
