Childlike

Verse 1 (Reflective, gentle but serious) We learned to speak before we learned to listen Learned to lead before we learned to kneel We traded wonder for explanations And called it wisdom, but something didn’t feel real We stopped asking simple questions Started trusting what we’re told Built our faith on polished answers Instead of truth our hearts once knew and held ⸻ Pre-Chorus (Building awareness) We don’t hear Him like we used to We don’t notice when He nudges our way So busy proving we are grown now We forgot how children pray ⸻ Chorus (Clear warning + meaning of childlike) Childlike isn’t weak or blind It’s a heart that listens every time It’s trust without conditions Truth without division Eyes that see beyond the signs But pride grew loud, discernment dimmed We learned the rules but forgot Him Now we’re missing all the clues He leaves behind Because we forgot what it’s like to be a child ⸻ Verse 2 (Discernment theme) He whispers softly, never forces Truth still knocks but we don’t hear Too much noise, too many voices Fear disguised as wisdom, comfort dressed as clear We memorize without obedience Quote the Word but miss the weight Looking for the loudest answers While the Father waits at narrow gates ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 (Urgency) Discernment isn’t clever thinking It’s a heart that stays aligned If we’d quiet down our knowing We’d see the signs we walk right by ⸻ Chorus (Repeat, stronger) Childlike isn’t weak or blind It’s a heart that listens every time It’s trust without conditions Truth without division Eyes that see beyond the signs But pride grew loud, discernment dimmed We learned the rules but forgot Him Now we’re missing all the clues He leaves behind Because we forgot what it’s like to be a child ⸻ Bridge (Call to repentance & return — powerful) So strip away our titles Break our need to be right Teach us how to tremble At Your truth again tonight We don’t need more knowledge We need ears that hear You speak Make us soft enough to
