Like a Child Danniebelle Hall

A little child will trust you
He'll believe in what you say
He's honest, and he hasn't learned
The games that grown-ups play
He won't pretend to be your friend
And laugh when you're around
But wait until you leave
And then begin to put you down

And when they asked Him
"Who's gonna be the greatest in the kingdom?"
Jesus called a little child for them to see, oh, yeah
And if you really want to be the greatest in the kingdom
Just like this little child, you've got to be

A little child is lowly
Not much does he require
The simple things can satisfy
His longings and desire
He's so in touch with much
Of what is beautiful and pure
And if he knows that he has your love
He'll always feel secure

A little child is loving
That's just the way he lives
And he can't hold a grudge for long
He's willing to forgive
Trusting, lowly, loving, and forgiving
Here is the key
To enter in God's kingdom
Like a child, you've got to be
