My Journey to God

Like a Child

Blessed Jesus, meek and mild,
   stoop to hear a little child.
At your feet I come to pray—
   Savior, cast me not away.
In my childhood may I be
   tender, meek and pure like thee.
Help me every sin to leave,
   lest thy loving heart I grieve.
Tender Jesus, You did call
   to your arms the children small.
Yes, I come and humbly pray—
   Savior, cast me not away.
