When You Were a Child

Often times, music has a deep emotional affect on me. Sometimes the reason is obvious in the lyrics or the quality of the voice or instrumental. Other times I just strongly react without knowing the reason.
That's the way it was for me with this song. At first, it made me feel so sad that I could not even listen to it. But then I began to wonder, so I listened closely to it and looked up the lyrics.
It still makes me feel a brokenness, but I believe it is a Godly brokenness; a call.
Lord make me your child again.

When You Were a Child

When you were a child

I called you my own

And you were mine

When you were a child

You could not standalone

But you were fine

I want to know that child again

Maybe time has changed you

But Love remembers when

You called my name and like the wind

I carried you away

It seems like only yesterday

When You were a child

When you were a child

The world was the unknown

But you were wise

To simply trust in me

That I will never leave

And hold on tight
