Text:
Even As a Child
. . . becometh as a child, submissive, . . . - (Mosiah 3:19)
When Jesus was a child, he reasoned with the scribes,
Desiring to teach them at the temple spires.
Because his age was twelve, He stayed in Nazareth,
Growing much in wisdoms path, gaining holy breath.
He waited patiently, his ministry to come . . .
Yielding to his Fathers will; He was Gods own Son.
He trusted as He lived with all obedience,
Even as He faced, with strength, many mortal threats.
Then when his end was nigh, when none would intercede,
Standing before Pilates face, He did never plead.
He firmly held his peace and answered to no man.
Nearing his own death He pled: Clean those soldiers hands!
In honor He did live, thus showing us the way.
Now He only begs that we, too, can God obey.
Oh, even as this Child abandoned earthly hopes,
Can we also live our lives with our Savior yoked?
Chorus:
Will we also give to Him each worldly desire,
Even as this Child of God, and so be lifted higher?
