Who Can Abide - Michael Card Lyrics

there's a way that a child can look at the world
see through the eyes of the heart
they see meaning beyond the mystery
hear the silence of the stars
so close your eyes so you can see
the way he meant this world to be
and understand with a child like heart
the place we end is where we start
the child is the father of the man
it's the paradox of god's design
so if you would be grown up and mature
let the light of your childhood shine
so close your eyes so you can see
what it must have been like to be
a little girl or boy who knows
and walks with jesus as they grow
