Lyrics Like a Child - Colin Buchanan

Let the children come
Don't hold back the little ones
A simple faith is greater than the mightiest of men
Let the children be
I want them to come to me
You need to know the kingdom will be full of such as them

There is kindness, goodness, blood-bought forgiveness
Run now to Jesus and come like a child
His righteous justice shall not consume us
The wonders of grace and his tender embrace
Run to the Son, for he calls you to come
Like a child, like a child

Let the children sing
Hosanna to the King of Kings
Riding on a humble colt into Jerusalem
Let the children cry
As they see him crucified
Tears will turn to laughter when their Saviour lives again

There is kindness, goodness, blood-bought forgiveness
Run now to Jesus and come like a child
His righteous justice shall not consume us
The wonders of grace and his tender embrace
Run to the Son, for he calls you to come
Like a child, like a child
Like a child

Age can make you wise
Age can be a thin disguise
Blind the hardened-hearted in their unbelief and pride
Children drop their nets
Children do not hedge their bets
Children hear his "follow me" and run to Jesus' side

There is kindness, goodness, blood-bought forgiveness
Run now to Jesus and come like a child
His righteous justice shall not consume us
The wonders of grace and the smile on his face
Run to the Son, for he calls you to come
Like a child, like a child
Run to the Son like a child
