Lyrics
One day two disciples came to Jesus,
They wanted seats beside his throne.
"One to your left and one to your right," they told him,
With selfish ambition in their tone.
"You don't know what you're asking," he told them,
"That is not up to me to give.
Unless you change and become like children,
Heaven is not where you will live."
Like a child, be like a child,
If you wanna get to heaven, be like a child.
Like a child, be like a child,
If you wanna know 'bout heaven, you must be like a child.
Jesus liked to tell stories to the people,
But he told them things they couldn't understand.
When his friends asked him why he did this,
He said, "The proud will never understand.
I have kept my treasures hidden from the learned,
But I reveal them to those who are like a child.
I will gladly share the secrets of the kingdom,
But only to the heart that's like a child."
Like a child, be like a child,
If you wanna get to heaven, be like a child.
Like a child, be like a child,
If you wanna know 'bout heaven, you must be like a child.
Blessed are the humble hearted,
Blessed are the meek and mild.
Those who come with simple faith
Enter heaven like a child.
Like a child, be like a child,
If you wanna get to heaven, be like a child.
Like a child, be like a child,
If you wanna know 'bout heaven, you must be like a child.
Like a child, be like a child,
If you wanna get to heaven, be like a child.
