Like a Child
Dear God, surround me as I speak,
the bridges that I walk across are weak
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
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
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 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
~Jars of Clay, Like a Child
Great poem — wondering if maybe I might refer to this on my blog? I think it speaks to people who are bereaved and would be a great reading for a funeral service.

Feel free to link. For this particular post, I did not write it. It is credited to the band Jars of Clay.
