Hope in the Feet of a Child
When I was a child,
I was so very playful.
I was so very playful,
and hopeful every day.

A-dancing in my bedroom,
throughout my house, the yard and
throughout my house, the yard and
the things I'd do and say.

A little boy, who needed
a friend to be forever,
a friend to be forever,
and Snoopy was his name.

My friend and alter-ego,
this Snoopy is my buddy.
This Snoopy is my buddy
for Charlie, I'm the same.

The happy feet of childhood
meet things, that we must do for
The things, that we must do for
adulting ev'ry day.

Adults still house a child,
that needs to stop and dance blest.
That needs to stop and dance blest,
since God we must obey.

"Forbid not little children
of such is My Own Kingdom.
"
Of such is my Own Kingdom,
today and evermore.
(Matthew 19:13-14, KJV)

"Let none despise thy youth for
you must be examples.
You must be examples
of believers to the core.
"
(I Timothy 4:12, KJV)

Remind me, while I'm older
to be so young and playful.
To be so young and playful,
I'll live a lasting Truth.

Forever we'll be younger,
if Christ has bought, redeemed us.
If Christ has bought, redeemed us,
forever we'll be youth.
