CHILD THOUGHT, by                    
First Line: When jesus was a child like me
Last Line: He was a child like me.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ - Childhood & Youth


When Jesus was a child like me,
And lived in Palestine,
He had no rich and costly things,
Nor a cosy house like mine.

He helped his father in the shop,
Ran errands for his mother,
He brought her water from the well
And cared for baby brother.

He must have played with other boys
Who ran and raced in glee,
Perhaps he carved a little boat
To sail on Galilee.

Since Jesus was a carpenter,
Perhaps he made a toy
For little sister, small enough
To play with and enjoy.

I picture him in dreams, although
His face I cannot see.
But still I'm happy just to know
He was a child like me.
