I’m but a Little Child

lyricist: Robert Gillies, 1889
Composer: Robert Lowry

I’m but a lit­tle child

I know

And lit­tle I can do;

But I can sing the Sav­ior’s love

Who died for me and you.

A lit­tle child

a lit­tle child

I’m but a lit­tle child

I know;

But I will give my heart to Him

Because He loves me so.

I’m but a lit­tle child

I know

And lit­tle I can say;

But I can praise Him in the songs

I sing from day to day.

I’m but a lit­tle child

I know

But lit­tle feet can stray;

And so I need a Sav­ior’s hand

To guide me on the way.

He

too

was once a lit­tle child

As such to earth He came;

Though seat­ed high in glo­ry now

He loves me just the same.
