A Child's Faith

"Jesus loves me, this I know, For the BIBLE tells me so"-- Little children ask no more, For love is all they're looking for. And in a small child's shining eyes The FAITH of all the ages lies. And tiny hands and tousled heads That kneel in prayer by little beds, Are closer to the dear Lord's heart And of His Kingdom more a part Than we who search, and never find, The answers to our questioning mind. For FAITH in things we cannot see Requires a child's simplicity. For, lost in life's complexites We drift upon uncharted seas, And slowly FAITH disintegrates While wealth and power accumulates-- And the more man learns, the less he knows, And the more involved his thinking grows And, in his arrogance and pride, No longer is man satisfied To place his confidence and love With childlike FAITH in God above-- Oh, Father, grant once more to men A simple childlike FAITH again. And, with a small child's trusting eyes, May all men come to realize That FAITH alone can save man's soul, And lead him to a HIGHER GOAL. Author unknown
