1 like a child
love would send
to reveal
and to mend,
like a child
and a friend,
Jesus comes
like a child
we may find
claiming heart
soul and mind,
like a child
strong and kind,
Jesus comes

2 like a child
we will meet,
ragged clothes,
dirty feet,
like a child
on the street,
Jesus comes
like a child
we once knew
coming back
into view,
like a child
born anew,
Jesus comes

3 like a child
born to pray
and to show
us the way,
like a child
here to stay,
Jesus comes
like a child
we receive
all that love
can conceive,
like a child
we believe
Jesus comes
