Always Be A Child

My Dad loves this song every time I sing it. It's a song that talks about the relationship we have with our heavenly Father which is parallel with the relationship we have with our earthly fathers. At times, we think that we're all so grown up that we don't need our fathers and just go on with our lives and take for granted the love he has for us. But our Dad never abandoned us because every time He's there to pick us up each time we stumble, comfort us each time we cry, and love us all the more because we are his children.

Have you taken the time to thank your Dad and tell him you love him?

Happy Father's Day to my Dad and to all fathers!

Type: Chords and Lyrics
Artist: Ray Boltz
Album: Let Freedom Ring

Intro: E A B7

E
I was there
A                   E
When you drew the breath of life
G#m
And I could hear your voice
A                      B7  
The first time that you cried
E                          A
And though you couldn't see Me
G#          C#m
I was very near
E
And there's something now
B7              E
That I want you to hear

CHORUS:
E                       A
You will always be a child
E
In my eyes
G#m
And when you need some love
A               B7
My arms are open wide
E                      A
And even when you're growing old
G#             C#m
I hope you realize
E                      B7
You will always be a child
E
In my eyes


E                      A
I was there the first time
E
That you prayed
G#
And I heard
A          B7
All the promises you made
E                 A
And when you fell before Me
G#                   C#m
Crying, Father, I have sinned
E
I picked you up
B7          E
And held you close again

CHORUS (repeat)
